Dream Street

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

A face catches sight of home, though 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 tourists, is 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 fantasies, reality can hurt

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



Chorus:

Dream street, dream street

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

Dream street, dream street

Well, it's hard to find and

It won't let hope escape from dream street



A year goes by, and the situation she can't stand

Came to be an actress, but a waitress is all she lands

Her colleague smiles at her through the wrinkles of her face

She came here too, with the self-same goals

She never got out of this place



She makes her mind up, she's gonna leave that very night

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

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

She's gotta star in a movie part, suddenly it's all worthwhile

Oh a little bit closer now, but really still too far

Is it always out of reach, that bright and shiny star of



Repeat chorus
