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
