Celluloid Heroes (US Single Version 2022 Edit)

[Refrain]
Everybody's a dreamer
And everybody's a star
And everybody's in movies
Doesn't matter who you are
There are stars in every city
In every house and on every street
And if you walk down Hollywood Boulevard
Their names are written in concrete

[Verse 1]
Don't step on Greta Garbo
As you walk down the boulevard
She looks so weak and fragile
That's why she tried to be so hard
But they turned her into a princess
And thеy sat her on a throne
But she turnеd her back on stardom
Because she wanted to be alone

[Chorus]
You can see all the stars as you walk down Hollywood Boulevard
Some that you recognize, some that you've hardly even heard of
People who worked and suffered and struggled for fame
Some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain

[Verse 2]
Rudolph Valentino looks very much alive
And he looks up ladies' dresses
As they sadly pass him by
But please don't tread on dearest Marilyn
Because she's not very tough
She should have been made of iron or steel
But she was only made of flesh and blood

[Chorus]
You can see all the stars as you walk down Hollywood Boulevard
Some that you recognize, some that you've hardly even heard of
Oh, people who worked and suffered and struggled for fame
Some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain

[Bridge]
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la

[Outro]
I wish my life was a non-stop Hollywood movie show
A fantasy world of celluloid villains and heroes
Because celluloid heroes never feel any pain
And celluloid heroes never really die
