Celluloid Heroes

Everybody's a dreamer And everybody's a star And everybody's in movies It doesn't matter who you are There are stars in every city In every house and on every street And if you walk down Hollywood Boulevard Their names are written in concrete Don't tread on Greta Garbo As you walk down the Boulevard She looks so weak and fragile That's why she tried to be so hard But they turned her into a princess And they sat her on a throne But she turned her back on stardom Because she wanted to be alone Well you can see all the stars As you walk down Hollywood Boulevard Some that you recognize Some that you've hardly even heard of People who worked suffered struggled for fame Some who succeeded Some who suffered in vain Rudolf Valentino Looks very much alive And he looks up ladies' dresses As they sadly pass him by Avoid steppin' on Bela Lugosi Because he's liable to turn and bite But stand close by Bette Davis Because hers was such a lonely life Well you can see all the stars As you walk down Hollywood Boulevard Some that you recognize Some that you've hardly even heard of People who worked suffered struggled for fame Some who succeeded Some who suffered in vain Everybody's a dreamer And everybody's a star And everybody's in showbiz It doesn't matter who you are And those who are successful Be always on your guard You see success walks hand in hand with failure On Hollywood Boulevard Well you can see all the stars As you walk down Hollywood Boulevard Some that you recognize Some that you've hardly even heard of People who worked suffered struggled for fame Some who succeeded Some who suffered in vain Wish my life was a non stop Hollywood movie show A fantasy world of Celluloid films and heroes Because celluloid heroes Never feel any pain Celluloid heroes Never really die --- Celluloid Heroes - Joan Jett and Joan Jett & the Blackhearts
