Welcome to Hollywood Words and Music by Glen Burtnik Vocals by Glen Burtnik Walk right in the clinic has arranged to see you first Hear the doctors make the game show come off unrehearsed The coyotes howl From the Tarzah hills Underneath the mocha   sky Jesus was as tall as me Now he's in the mall on Melrose Welcome to Hollywood If the clouds of grey and brown Cancel out the sun We'll fire up the tanning beds And color every one And the airbrushed girls Melt like credit cards And the sunburned cops and guards And Elvis came alive again Now we're killing time on Sunset Welcome to Hollywood Hypodermic beeper babies working off the phone Never beens and tired icons sealed off in their home Juist wanna be alone And the sign above Shadows everything And the snake crawls down below The stars are falling down tonight The circus is in town forever They're burning down the hills tonight The world is falling in the ocean Oh!

Another  Words and Music by Glen Burtnik Vocals by Glen Burtnik Just like a jaguar sun You pull me down Like panther wind You twist me around You own me hard and fast I can't keep time The guns in your eyes They level at mine In another life Would we dance again? Would we be here now and still be friends? This electric fire Would you recognize? Would I see your eyes in someone? When you look into the sky Did you buy an apparition in the night Before they fade I catch the light In another lifetime I'm drifting off the shore You pull me in The locus blooms but it's wearing thin Whoa In another life Would I speak your name? Would there be a prayer we'd meet again? In a world of glass we could hide behind Would I find you there in someone? I wanna fly into the sky I wanna fall 'til my body starts to cry Somewhere beyond the words could find In another lifetime Would you cry? Would you try? If I died in the middle of the night Would you be on the other side? Would you be...

Heart in 3 Words and Music by Glen Burtnik Vocals by Glen Burtnik Like a game of cat and mouse One pursues the other tries to hide There's a paw pushed in the knothole Grabbing at the occupants inside But it's all right I don't mind I can take my time Cause I could break your heart in three And I could shake you from your tree One could be the artist Just about the paint a masterpiece One could be the subject Slashing at the canvass in her sleep But we'll get through No matter what you do I can wait for you Cuz I could break your heart in three And I could wake you from your dream Is it hard to find? Is it just you're mine? Maybe you think that there is an apple you're bringing to the party Then can you believe I'm a 24/7/365 slave waiting on ya You're putting the whip upon the back of of the king You kiss the ring and then you pull down the shade and you unsheathe the blade You seize the moment thinking how you're cutting me But don't act too qu...

Roses  Words and Music by Glen Burtnik Vocals by Glen Burtnik I got this job up at the mill But somehow I can't cover all these bills No matter how I try So now my baby's working too So we can pay the rent that's overdue And maybe we'll get by But when she gets back home tonight I'll find her some good way to make her feel all right Roses for the working girl Oh oh my baby, she's in the working world She says she really doesn't mind She's got to put in a little overtime She knows that we'll survive But still I wish that I could see Why I can't earn enough to make ends meet To keep this thing alive But I'm ready with this red bouquet And I'm hoping it can tell her more than I could ever say Roses for the working girl Oh oh my baby, she's in the working world Roses for the working girl Oh oh my baby, she's a working girl She's a working girl Oh, when she gets back home tonight I've got her some good way to make her feel all ...

Cry  Words and Music by Glen Burtnik Vocals by Glen Burtnik Jagged glass in your window pane Shatter dreams ain't shelter from the rain And it's a cold wind that you feel You say it ain't shit for you And what comes out come up again too But talking tough don't make it real Baby, cry, you can't hold back forever Cause it is time you let you tears come through Baby, cry, if crying makes it better Then, baby, cry the way I once cried for you Waking up with your pillow streaked in misery The words that you can't speak Your crying can set them free I don't know what you think you need But don't we both know what it's like to bleed Just break apart these walls of stone Baby, cry Waking up with your pillow streaked in misery (oh) The words that you can't speak Your crying can set them free Now I don't know what you think you need But don't we both know what it's like to bleed Just break apart these walls of stone And baby, cry, you can'...

When the Shit Hits the Fan Words and Music by Glen Burtnik Vocals by Glen Burtnik Superboy done lost his way Superman can't walk Wonder Woman gone gray It's a grave new world Hollywood spun the runaway Better not come today Put the gun away Drink and drive The way you planned it Try and drive But you can't understand it One lucky bastard makes out like a bandit While another poor sucker gets the sandwich handed to him The world screened him And you know you know you know The bandit's done, sue him Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, yeah Whatcha gonna do?

All That's Yet to Come Words and Music by Glen Burtnik Vocals by Glen Burtnik I can see the mountains I've had to climb And where I've started from But I can't help wondering what I'll find In all that's yet to come 'Cause the sun comes up and the days go past No matter where I run But I still can't see how the die is cast In all that's yet to come And I've studied poets and followed dreams Making a way down the road But the trail stretches out to eternity And there's no telling where it will go So I pray each day for my daily bread So many miles from home And then trying to prophesy what comes next As if I'll ever know But if I could see what was up ahead Before my time is done Would I have the wisdom to wait instead Through all that's yet to come And I've gotten high and I've laid down low Looking for holes in the wall And it reaches farther than I can go And maybe to nowhere at all And so if a wish ever came my way If I was...
