North Hollywood Songtext

von Van Hunt

North Hollywood, North Hollywood
That's my neighborhood
Hollywood, Holly, North Hollywood
Girl, you got me hooked

I know you wish you could
Live in my neighborhood
Home of low and high life crooks
So misunderstood

Not in Death Valley but in the Valley of Death
There sits an oasis of concentrated goodness
Where I disappear and the next sound you hear
Is a melody over a vicious beat

North Hollywood, North Hollywood
That's my neighborhood
She was taken in a Mexican raid
Girl, you got me hooked

I know you wish you could
Live in my neighborhood
First stop on the subway train
So misunderstood

There are no more secrets after you've been evicted
Your story sits on abandoned couches
Politics of the kids in the low level bounce houses
Mark the world as just a skate park

North Hollywood, North Hollywood
That's my neighborhood
For the glamor of her sister's fame
Her name was changed

I know you wish you could
Live in my neighborhood
Holly is just as she always was
A complicated love child
She shook the American dreamer
And she stole my heart

Emerging starlets, dressed virginesque
Know the fastest way to a man's pocket is on his rocket
Hot red schemes to steal the scene in the dreams
Of the men who make the movies

North Hollywood, North Hollywood
That's my neighborhood
She may not win your heart with just one look
But girl, you got me hooked

I know you wish you could
Live in my neighborhood
The crown jewel of saboteurs
Holly remains pure
