From the recording Hollywood Altars
A long-time project that has taken several years to complete. Focus is on the media and entertainment industries.... A very versatile collection of songs.... that are driven by lyrical ponderings and observations from long ago to today about the various and "levels" of sacrifice awaiting those who are driven by their love for their hopes. The media and entertainment bizz is a rough one and the lyrics in this album paint a tale of the successes, boobytraps, dreams and pitfalls awaiting those who dedicate themselves to their internal voice that drives them forward to their dreams. Grab your earphones and sit back and partake in a lyrical journey ...thru ... HOLLYWOOD.

Verse 1
I know a town that is filled with ghosts
Where lives and dreams go up in smoke
And the entities linger behind
Praying they’ll be added to the storyline
The spirits in the shadows need to know
The light is waiting for them a little further down the road…from
Chorus
Hollywood, Hollywood
People dancing through flames at 32 frames in Hollywood
There’s a fabulous cast always strutting past in Hollywood
Find a mirror and hold it to your nose
Then thank God you’re still breathing
After your daily dose ……….
Of Hollywood, Hollywood
Verse 2
There are caves hidden up in the canyons
Where zombie souls cling to the ledge
Paralyzed by visions of overnight success
They can barely kick their dreams back out of bed
Someone needs to tell them to let go
Open the windows and fly away a little further down the road…from
Chorus
Hollywood, Hollywood
People dancing through flames at 32 frames in Hollywood
There’s a fabulous cast always speeding past in Hollywood
But, if you don’t check the thickness of your skin
You’re bound to wake up bleeding
From all those silicone sins……….
In Hollywood, Hollywood
Verse 3
There’s a gathering of the tribes out on the peaks
As the ground rolls and tears beneath their feet
And the masters of the media will be offering a prize
To anyone who volunteers to be the final sacrifice
Then someone finally screams it’s time to go
Find the switch and fade the lights on the devil's reality show…in
Chorus
Hollywood, Hollywood
People dancing through flames at 32 frames in Hollywood
There’s a fabulous cast always crawling past in Hollywood
Ahh, secret deals buff up your sex appeal
But after all the cheers die down
You’re only good as your next deal
In Hollywood, Hollywood
