He came down from the south of Brooklyn Spirits high or so they said He got stories about this land that they never knew They don't understand him
She was seventeen and her life was open Her mom was gone and her dad was dead Down on fourth-street looking for the home she never had They don't understand her anyway
And the moon will rise and the sun will still shine And the days will roll by like everything was fine And the moon will rise and the sun will still shine And life will roll on... 'round the Hollywood sign
Johny's flying in the likes of heaven Spirits high or so they say And he knows there'll be better days
Better nights, it's a bitter game They don't understand him anyway
They've got contracts in their pockets And their suits are made of gold And they'll make you act so sleazy They'll tell you you're to old Then they'll come and knock your door down And hope that you are blind But life will roll on... 'round this big sign
And the moon will rise and the sun will still shine And the days will roll by like everything was fine And the moon will rise and the sun will still shine And life will roll on... 'round the Hollywood sign
