Avenue Of Stars

(Album: Barenaked - 2002)

[Voice]
Yo Yo Yo! Welcome to Hollywood! What's your dream? Everybody got a dream.

[Jennifer]
Standing on the star of Marilyn Monroe,
I've got a dream and a map of some stars homes.
Down on the boulavard all the kids look like me.
Faith in my pocket and my Saturdays free,
No time for all my insecurities.
But, nobody knows,
The fight inside I will never show.

[Chorus]

I've got a backpack filled with what I own.
Everybody's wating for me to come home.
She didn't make it, she didn't take it so far,
On avenue of the stars.

I made a deal with God that I will win.
If I don't make it in a year,
I will pack it in.
I just wanna be anywhere but where I've been.
With all of your doubts,
I'm not gonna let you count me out.

I've got a backpack filled with what I own.
Everybody's waiting for me to come home.
She didn't make it, she didn't take it so far.
I've got nobody but I'm not alone.
One world of dreamers that will never go home.
We may not make it, we're gonna take it so far.
On avenue of the stars.

There is no way I'm backing out.
I'll find an angel here somehow.
If it's good or bad, it's my town.

Never gonna go home.
Never gonna go home.

She didn't make it, she didn't take it so far.
On avenue of the stars.

I've got nobody but I'm not alone.
One world of dreamers that will never go home.
We may not make it, we're gonna take it so far.
On avenue of the stars.

On the avenue of the stars.

What nobody knows,
I'm gonna take it so far.

She's gonna make it,
She's never gonna make it.

A world full of dreamers that will never go home.

I'm gonna make it this year on my own.

[Chorus]

She didnt make it,
I've got a dream and a map of some stars homes.
