Welcome to my city
The girls are so damn pretty
Such a pity they don't come for free
Just call me pimp daddy
I'll roll ya one big fatty
I think you're gonna like hangin with me
Chorus
Welcome to my city of sin
I believe you're gonna fit right in
Yes this is my city of sin
Your first lesson is about to begin
Nor you're living in the city of sin
You don't mind if I call you a friend
Once you enter you can never get out of here...
Welcome to Hollyweird
I'm the king of the streets
I own the cops, the junkies and freaks
It's a human wasteland I call home
Grow your hair to your shoes
Trust me boy you just can't lose
Soon this be the only life you've ever known

Squeeze Box
Mama's got a squeeze box
She wears on her chest
And when Daddy comes home
He never gets no rest
'Cause she's playing all night
And the music's all right
Mama's got a squeeze box
Daddy never sleeps at night
Well the kids don't eat
And the dog can't sleep
There's no escape from the music
In the whole damn street
'Cause she's playing all night
And the music's all right
Mama's got a squeeze box
Daddy never sleeps at night
She goes in and out and in and out and in and out and in and out
She's playing all night
And the music's all tight
Mama's got a squeeze box
Daddy never sleeps at night
She goes, squeeze me, come on and squeeze me
Come on and tease me like you do
I'm so in love with you
Mama's got a squeeze box
Daddy never sleeps at night
She goes in and out and in and out and in and out and in and out
'Cause she's playing all night
And the music's all right
Mama's got a squeeze box
Daddy never sleeps at night
Shooting Star
A small town girl with big time dreams
But nothing's ever as it seems
A mother waves her girl goodbye
Then slowly hangs her head and cries
Hollywood hills and the big city lights
Outside her window they burn bright
Someday the world will praise her fame
They'll know her face, they'll shout her name
Bridge
They'll shout it real loud
She'll make her mama real proud
She'll stand above the crowd
Chorus:
I am someone
Look what I have done
Stare into the sun
I am a shooting star
I am something
I am someone
Look what I have done
I am a shooting star
She looks down at the stars lying on the streets
Says to herself "that will be me"
A big time dream, a small town mind
Searching for a break she may never find
Streets of gold, they turn to gray
Just one more chance, just one more day
Someday that world will know this face
She swears they'll never fall from grace
Bridge
Chorus
Solo
She stands out on the streets in the pouring rain
Strangers walk by; they don't know her name
As the silver screen slowly fades to black
She'll never give in, she can never go back
Chorus
Someday you'll see me
Don't you need me
Everybody will believe me
I am a shooting star
I will stand strong
I will hold on
It's not my last song
I am a shooting star
Wishful Thinkin'
Came to Hollywood
Gonna be a movie star
She got off the bus
But she didn't get far
Now she can act as good as Meryl Streep
Dreams of stardom when she sleeps
The casting couch just makes her scream
Wasn't like this in her dream
Chorus:
Wishful thinking
Give it to me, give it to me, give it to me, give it to me good
Wishful thinking, yeah
Let's go
Came to Hollywood

Now he works two jobs, can't get a break
Takes little white pills to stay awake
No record deals just make him scream
It wasn't like this in his dream
Chorus
Come on Bobby
Yeah, I like that

Wishful thinking, yeah

Bridge
The way you move your body
It's driving me insane
Don't you dare take me there
Then shoot me down in flames
Chorus:
She's just like a loaded gun

Girl's so hot you know it's true
That woman gonna make a man of you
Really ain't no mystery

Ohhhh, ohhhh sexy thing
I want your ten toes up and my ten toes down
Two wet bodies going round and round

Now it really ain't no secret
I don't want this night to end
She said "don't you worry, Bret

Emperor's New Clothes (CC vocals)
Now that you've been bought and sold
You don't have time to fix the mess you're in
And if I may be so bold
I bet you couldn't even do it again
Bridge
Lying like yesterday's paper outside the door
Chorus:
Now you need me to clean your shoes
Walk on water be in the mood
Everybody's talking but nobody knows
Where did the emperor get them new clothes
I always did look up to you
Tried to copy everything that you did
Until you broke my heart in two
You shot me up then you flipped your lid

Chorus

Devil Woman
She'll slide you in and taste your sin
She slowly gets inside your head
You feel her take control and she'll steal your soul
she's the devil lying in your bed
She's the lord of your thighs and it's no surprise
You're playing with a loaded gun
She's a killer queen and she'll lick you clean
Then she'll spit you out when she's done
Chorus:
Devil woman, evil woman
She'll make you believe
LA woman, she's my woman
Brings out the devil in me
She got blood red lips and head trips
Leave a poor boy beggin for more
When you get that itch ain't love a bitch
Now you need her just a little more
She's a soul taker, a ball breaker
And boy she's gonna break you
She's gonna steal your heart, steal your money
Laugh at you when she's through
Chorus
Chorus 2:
Well the way she'll do you
Things you ain't never seen
She can tear right through you
You can never leave
Solo
Chorus 2
Chorus x2 out
Alone on my steel horse I ride
The engine echoes in the night
Through a concrete jungle a wasteland I call home
No fears and no regrets
No apologies for the things I've said
And believe me child it's the life I've known
Chorus
I will ride on through the night
From this hell I will survive
It's all I've done, it's who I am
Just know this: I've done the best I can
I see fallen angels and broken dreams
I still surviving on these streets
Like forgotten soldiers left here to die
All your pain I understand
Give me your love, you take my hand
And from this wasteland we will ride
Chorus 2:
We will ride on through the night
From this hell we will survive
Give me your faith, give me your hand
All I know: we've done the best we can

Livin' In The Now (CC vocals)
Got no time to think about good intentions
Got no time to think about indiscretions
Don't want to think about past reflections
Don't want to think about tomorrow
Chorus
Cause I'm living in the now, yeah
Hold tight it'll be alright
Cause I'm living in the now, yeah
Hold tight, it'll be alright
A little unsure today
Lock you in a cage
Unkind thing to say
Flies into a rage
Chorus (x2)
Everyday is shorter than the day before
Saving for a rainy day is just a metaphor
Chorus
It's so easy to offend
When venom is your friend
Wounds can never mend
And you don't try
Chorus (x3)
solo
Now you watch me bleed
Cause you never did believe me
Only to deceive with just one lie
Chorus (out)
Stupid, Stoned & Dumb
My baby said she don't want to see my face
She kicked me right on out of her place
Now I'm back with the band and my girl is long gone
She broke my heart bad so I wrote down this song
I'm about as sad as they come
yeah, I'm stupid, stoned and dumb
I'm a pretty pitiful sight
Lately I can't get myself right
Boys, I can't get this girl out of my head
I just know she's got another man in her bed
They said, "Bret, let us give you some advice --
In Hollywood, love don't come easy, it comes at a price"
Chorus
So your girlfriend is a dancer and she makes love for money
Used to get it free we really think you're lucky
Loves a two way street you got hit by the bus
Don't break your heart or you'll end up like us
So you got dumped
Don't feel ashamed
We got a little something
something gonna ease your pain
So I toke and I snort and I smoke and I sniff
By the way, what day is this?
Chorus (x2)
You're a natural born loser don't you understand
That's why you're born to sing in a rock and roll band
Born to feel the pain and write sad songs
With losers like us this is where you belong
Chorus
Solo
The band was making it big, I was making the scene
Drive big cars and making some green
Wrote a big hit; a number one song
But by then my girl was long gone

Saturday night Rainbow Bar and Grill
Where there's cocaine lines and a little white pill
A beer and a gin now I can't see straight
Slip it in, no glove, oops, too late
I remember her face but forgot her name
She forgot mine too ain't that a shame
Smelled like reefer and my hairs a mess
I left my love running down her dress
Chorus
Dave from Drowning Pool is here
Steals my women and he drinks my beer
Buys me a pizza and a shot of Jim Beam
And ask who the f*ck is Angeline
I go to piss in the parking lot, well I
Get in a fight but I don't get caught
Hell no problem cuz the nights still young
I want a little more gonna get ya some
Chorus

You know I never ever thought I would say
Just how much I love LA
Until we got aboard a plane and

We went to London, Paris France, and Spain
All it f*ckin did was rain
Bobby went insane and Bret left
with a geisha girl
Chorus
Rikki had so many bags
customs almost beat his ass

The tour bus that we had won't go
Got stuck in seven feet of snow

And the sound man broke his arm

Bring them down to their knees
