Dream Street

An abyss come in the night
A freeway in the dark
I fear she's out alone
Though out this scattered of town
Such a beating of the heart
And a hope deep down inside
They say the streets are paved with gold
But it sure looks kind of cold outside

Stepping on the sidewalk with the stars
Beneath her feet
Just a handful of tourists, it's all
She's about to meet
So tough to find a room
And it takes more than a day
And it's not too nice
And the price is high
And somehow she can never cry

In a road full of fantasies,
Reality that hurts
It's a fact of fiction
The unspoken ephemeral

Dream street, Dream street
Will it all come true?
Will it all just fade away?
Dream street, Dream street
Well it's hard to find any road
That holds escape from
Dream street

And a year goes by
And the situation she can't stand
Came to be an actress
But a waitress is all she lands
Her collar smiles at her
Through the wrinkles on her face
She came in two with the self-same goals
She never got out of this place
She makes her mind up
She's gonna leave that very night
It's been so long now
Since she's felt that good inside
She calls her service line
There's a message left for her
She's gonna star in a movie part
Suddenly it's all worthwhile
Oh a little bit closer now
But really still too far
Is it always out of reach
That bright and shining star?

Dream street, Dream street
Will it all come true?
Will it all just fade away?
Dream street, Dream street
Well it's hard to find any road
That holds escape from
