Tourists acting cool, cruising into town
Go to Hollywood Boulevard to get down
They can't believe the things they see
But it's S.O.S. to you and me
You can lose it all on the street of dreams
Where the rich man rides in his limousine
Where the street dude calls an alley home
You can play it straight or you can play it stoned!
Hollywood Boulevard, Hollywood Boulevard
Now what you see...is what you get
Hollywood Boulevard, Hollywood Boulevard
A hitchhiker counted on fortune and fame
Now he can't afford a ticket back the way he came
A young girl's dreaming of her name in lights
The producer's got plans for her tonight
A bag lady's dodgin' a skateboard freak
While she's diggin' in garbage for something to eat
Friendly pusher's talkin' to the boulevard whore
He's got 'em all hooked on his candy store
Hollywood Boulevard, Hollywood Boulevard
See how we're walking...Huh, see how we're talking
Hollywood Boulevard, Hollywood Boulevard
Hooker calls out for a car to stop
But the driver's acting like an undercover cop
While the gospel preacher's shaking his tambourine
Preaching to a pimp, and an old drag queen
Just an empty bottle in the wino's sack
Everything he owns he's wearing on his back
The street pimp is sleeping on concrete bed
Go to Salvation Army when it's time to get fed!
Hollywood Boulevard, Hollywood Boulevard
See what I'm saying...That's what I said
Hollywood Boulevard, Hollywood Boulevard
Is that a girl? Or is that a guy?
Hollywood Boulevard, Hollywood Boulevard
Tourists acting cool, cruising into town
Go to Hollywood Boulevard to get down
They can't believe the things they see
But it's S.O.S. to you and me
You can get burned by the neon light
Where there's drugs for sale in the middle of the night
Where some punk's waiting with a switchblade knife
For an all-American tourist and his middle-aged wife
Hollywood Boulevard, Hollywood Boulevard
Watch where you're walking...Watch how you're talking
Hollywood Boulevard, Hollywood Boulevard
It's not up to me... But it's up to you
Hollywood Boulevard, Hollywood Boulevard
And if you don't watch yourself...Buddy, you be [foolin'?]
Hollywood Boulevard, Hollywood Boulevard
Hollywood Boulevard, Hollywood Boulevard
Hollywood Boulevard, Hollywood Boulevard
Hollywood Boulevard, Hollywood Boulevard
Hollywood Boulevard, Hollywood Boulevard
Hollywood Boulevard, Hollywood Boulevard
Now what you see...is what you get
Hollywood Boulevard, Hollywood Boulevard
But let me tell...You ain't see nothing yet!
Hollywood Boulevard, Hollywood Boulevard
Hollywood Boulevard, Hollywood Boulevard
Hollywood Boulevard, Hollywood Boulevard
Hollywood Boulevard, Hollywood Boulevard
Hollywood Boulevard, Hollywood Boulevard
Hollywood Boulevard, Hollywood Boulevard
