Worked on a song a bit today. It’s one of those ones that just won’t go away.

Deleted a bunch of verses… This is all that’s left. I’ll record the damn thing when I get a chance and get the changes and lyrics down. It’s a slow blues tune in E.

The lights shine for fools
the cast and the crew
down the block from fortune and vain

Time carves up the street
the stars shine under your feet
down on Hollywood & Highland

Fog creeps down the hills
bell rings on a broken down till
new hearts plow a valley of pain

The dawn looks the same
the next scene in a tired old play
down on Hollywood & Highland

So set em up Lu
There’s nuthin left for me to do
no one’s waitin by the door at home

just the snap of these neon lights
one more star that burned too bright
Down on Hollywood & Highland

(break)

Dreams soon fade to black
little by little they slide right down the cracks
till they don’t come come up anymore

There’s no big surprise
when you’re stone cold drunk on living lies
down on Hollywood & Highland
