Hollywoodland

There’s been a killing in the town
The lonely streets are filled with sirens
Before the cops took him down
The monsters face becomes human

I read the headlines the papers say he’s crazy
I saw the newsreel from the front row in the dark
After the movie I watched the credits roll
The broken streets of Hollywood are in my hands

I have a feeling inside
Like the wolf in the shadows
And I love you Frankenstein’s bride
Leave a light in the window

The phantom leads me to you
As Edgar looks on in silence
We’re joined by Christopher, too
On a remote Scottish island

Deep in the basement the doctors face is changing
Downtown the cops are pulling bodies from the bars
Below the pavement the monster lies awaiting
The broken streets of Hollywood are in his hands

Lugosi waits for me now
Vincent narrates the story
Chaney slips on the mask
To watch his son become famous

Lugosi waits for me now
As Vincent narrates the story
Chaney slips on the mask
To watch his son become famous

I have a feeling inside
Like the wolf in the shadows
And I love you Frankenstein’s bride
Leave a light in the window

Down in Hollywoodland
