wild eyes staring out from a wasted face.
like a cry for help just a little too late.
you saw the writing on the wall,
you can't believe how far you'd fall

in tinseltown,
in tinseltown.
uh-huh in tinseltown

the sharks sure loved you when you hit the scene
you were a walking, talking hustler's dream
nothing changes but the names
one more ace shot down in flames
in tinseltown
in tinseltown
uh-huh in tinseltown

high rollin, high living
you can jump right over the moon.
one day you wake up
staring all alone in empty room
you threw it all away,
and you did not see it go,
now there is nothing left,
and no one wants to know
where did it go?

oh no in tinseltown

you searched for something
that you never found
you came out of nowhere boy
and nowhere's where you're bound
it teases you with just enough
another fool steps off the bus

to tinseltown
to tinseltown

high rollin, high living
you can jump right over the moon.
one day you wake up
staring all alone in empty room
you threw it all away,
and you did not see it go,
now there is nothing left,
and no one wants to know
where did it go?

oh oh in tinseltown
oh oh guitar

in tinseltown
in tinseltown
way down in tinseltown
way down in tinseltown
