Loudon Wainwright Iii - Hollywood Hopeful lyrics

I am a full fledged, grown-up adult I'm tryin' make a dent, tryin' to get a result I'm hold up in a Hollywood hotel suite Tequila to drink and avocado to eat They got all kinds of victories and lots of downfalls They got d** in the rugs and ghosts in the walls Starlets in the lobby that can make a man drool Blood on the curtains and a phone by the pool Well I never did see so many TV stars And I never did see so many rented cars I never did see so many desperate eyes And I never did hear so many bold faced lies When I was ten years old, I was alive And the Benedict Canyon down on Hutton Drive Well now I'm right back in my old backyward And I'm tryin' to get a billboard on the boulevard I'm tryin' to get a billboard on the boulevard Well I never thought I'd see the age of twenty-five And it's been twenty-eight years now that I've been alive And in a matter of months I will be thirty years old And the apprehension that I feel can hardly be told I am a full fledged, grown-up adult I'm tryin' make a dent, tryin' to get a result I'm hold up in a Hollywood hotel suite Tequila to drink and avocado to eat Tequila to drink and avocado to eat
