Hollywood Forever
--
Why do you come to Hollywood?
To die!
Come wander
& partake in the procession
Of the Living Dead
For in these hills you may
Dig your grave
So that you may
One day
Have something to say
& when you do it’ll be
You, you, you!
Who says it
Not your parent’s you, or
Your boss’s you, or
Your president’s you, or
The Almighty’s you
But YOU
The dead one
The Catcher of Stars
The Ruler of Mars
The Skeleton driving the Speeding Car
Hollywood is battleground
For inner demons
& secret boudoirs
& speakeasy bars
Your restless impulse
Has brought you here
Where sky is clear
& ocean near
To confront that which you fear
Come one, come all!
To the Land that survived the Fall
We are beyond Evil & Good
Come one, come all!
Come into Hollywood
To dig your grave
To say goodbye
To finally live
To merrily die
