Lyrics

Be a writer if I thought I could
But words just don't fall free
Started this song in Hollywood
It still eludes me

Must've been the moment there
Passion, pain or lust
Spontaneity isn't always fair
Or is it lack of trust?

Carry it with me everywhere
Better than the best affair
You know it ain't, no it ain't, goin' nowhere...

Could 've been your memory
Clouded up the wires
But now it's coming back to me
Like a rampant wildfire

Carry it with me everywhere
Better than the best affair
You know it ain't, no it ain't, goin' nowhere...

Fame and fortune alive in Hollywood
But not falling oh so free
Don't know the point of Hollywood
It still eludes me...
