wild eyes staring out from a wasted face.
                               like a cry for help just a little too late.
                               you saw the writing on the wall,
                               you can't believe how far you'd fall

                               in tinseltown,
                               in tinseltown.
                               uh-huh in tinseltown

                               the sharks sure loved you when you hit the scene
                               you were a walking, talking hustler's dream
                               nothing changes but the names
                               one more ace shot down in flames
                               in tinseltown
                               in tinseltown
                               uh-huh in tinseltown

                               high rollin, high living
                               you can jump right over the moon.
                               one day you wake up
                               staring all alone in empty room
                               you threw it all away,
                               and you did not see it go,
                               now there is nothing left,
                               and no one wants to know
                               where did it go?

                               oh no in tinseltown

                               you searched for something
                               that you never found
                               you came out of nowhere boy
                               and nowhere's where you're bound
                               it teases you with just enough
                               another fool steps off the bus

                               to tinseltown
                               to tinseltown

                               high rollin, high living
                               you can jump right over the moon.
                               one day you wake up
                               staring all alone in empty room
                               you threw it all away,
                               and you did not see it go,
                               now there is nothing left,
                               and no one wants to know
                               where did it go?

                               oh oh in tinseltown
                               oh oh guitar

                               in tinseltown
                               in tinseltown
                               way down in tinseltown
                               way down in tinseltown
