North Hollywood
North Hollywood, North Hollywood - that’s my neighborhood;
Hollywood, Holly North Hollywood - girl, you got me hooked...
I know you wish you could live in my neighborhood;
Home of low and high-life crooks, so misunderstood...

Not in Death Valley, but in the Valley there sits
An oasis of concentrated goodness
Where I disappear, and the next sound you hear
Is a melody over a vicious beat...

North Hollywood, North Hollywood - that’s my neighborhood;
She was taken in a Mexican raid - girl, you got me hooked...
I know you wish you could live in my neighborhood...
First stop on the subway train - so misunderstood...

There are no more secrets after you’ve been evicted;
Your story sits on abandoned couches...
Politics of the kids in the low-level bounce houses
Mark the world as just a skate park...

North Hollywood, North Hollywood - that’s my neighborhood;
For the glamour of her sister’s fame, her name was changed...
I know you wish you could live in my neighborhood;
Holly is just as she always was: a complicated love child!

She shook the American dreamer
And she stole my heart...
Oh!
Emerging starlets dressed virgin-esque
Know the fastest way to a man’s pocket is on his rocket...
Hot-red schemes to steal the scenes in the dreams
Of the men who make the movies...

North Hollywood, North Hollywood - that’s my neighborhood;
She may not win your heart with just one look, but girl, you got me hooked...
I know you wish you could live in my neighborhood;
The crown jewel of saboteurs, Holly remains pure... mmm...
