And a bus comes in on the hollywood freeway in the dark



A face catches sight of homethough at this spirited town



Such a beating of the heart and a hope deep down inside



They say the streets are paved with gold



But it sure looks kind of cold outside





Steppin' on the sidewalk with the stars beneath her feet



Just a handful of touristsis all she's bound to meet



So tough to find a room and it takes more than a day



And it's not too nice and the price is high



Somehow she can't help but cry



In a world full of fantasiesreality can hurt



It's about the fictionthe odds won't go with her on





Chorus:



Dream streetdream street



Will it all come true? will it all just fade away



Dream streetdream street



Wellit's hard to find and



It won't let hope escape from dream street





A year goes byand the situation she can't stand



Came to be an actressbut a waitress is all she lands



Her colleague smiles at her through the wrinkles of her face



She came here toowith the self-same goals



She never got out of this place





She makes her mind upshe's gonna leave that very night



It's been so long now since she's felt that good inside



She calls the service linethere's a message in there for her



She's gotta star in a movie partsuddenly it's all worthwhile



Oh a little bit closer nowbut really still too far



Is it always out of reachthat bright and shiny star of





Repeat chorus
