Hollywood is such a dream
And when you're only seventeen, it's wonderful
A movie man said she could be a star
A beauty queen, or a cover girl
She believes and packs up her things
And the wall of silence begins

Every night was party night
She was everyone's delight, he let her stay
When he'd had enough, he threw her out
And she found work in a small cafe
When she called they put her on hold
And the wall of silence grows 

Give me a break
Give me a break
This is Hollywood
Open the door
Open the door
What am I going to do
When the money runs out?
And there isn't any doubt
That I'll have nowhere to go 

Hollywood is just a dream
When you're only seventeen, it's magical
She went home to hide away
She wore her sadness like a veil and closed the door
'Til the day she smiles and recalls
And the wall of silence falls
