Hollywood

(album: Ask Rufus - 1977)

He's on his way
He's going to Hollywood
He's bussing it to Hollywood
Show him the way
He's moving to Hollywood
He's hopping it to Hollywood

(where you going child?)
(where you going now)

He's waited at bus stops all his life
He's been in and out of those spaces
Seeing eyes that spoke to him
From sad and gifted places
Sad and gifted places

He's on his way
He's going to Hollywood
He's bussing it to Hollywood
Show him the way
He's moving to Hollywood
He's hopping it to Hollywood

(where you going now)
(what'cha doing child?)
(where you going now?)

You know he's gonna be dressed to kill
He's gonna find some brand new thrills
Whatever he's been looking for
Tell him that there's so much more
In Hollywood, Hollywood

He's on his way
He's going to Hollywood
He's bussing it to Hollywood
Show him the way
He's moving to Hollywood
He's hopping it to Hollywood

(where you going now)
(what'cha doing child?)
(where you going yeah)

Painted faces, sunburnt skin
Fixed expressions, smiles worn thin
Caught in the blink of neon of Hollywood
Bending battles, maneuvering schemes
False expressions, washed up dreams
Everybody makes believe
In Hollywood, Hollywood

(oh child what'cha doin'?)
(what'cha doing now?)
(what'cha been' doin'?)

I say, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Uh huh, I say, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Uh huh, Hollywood, Hollywood, Hollywood yeah yeah
Uh huh, Hollywood, Hollywood, yeah yeah yeah yeah
Oh oh, that boy say,
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yea, yeah
