Nights of the Hollywood Palace

from A Thief's Journal (album, 2007) by Floyd Thursby

/

lyrics

Verse One
Bridge Road midnight
And a flickering light
Marks the door of an old wine bar
Where taxi cab drivers, and late night lovers
Eat like kings, surrounded by stars

Verse Two
She took me she kept me
She walked out and left me
It’s a tale I’m not too proud to tell
You can drown out your sorrow between now and tomorrow
But never dream in this Hollywood

CHORUS
I’m down on my knees to this lack-lustre shrine
With a lock of her hair in my hand
On the lino we danced out our faded romance
In the nights of the Hollywood Palace

Verse Three
In this has-been hall of fame
I see a poor man’s pinball game
And a juke box of faded delights
They say ‘Take the man home’, but he’s never alone
When he dines at Hollywood’s
