Wall Of Silence - Chris De Burgh

Hollywood is such a dream

And when you’re only seventeen, it’s wonderful

A movie man said she could be a star

A beauty queen, or a cover girl

She believes and packs up her things

And the wall of silence begins;

Every night was party night

She was everyone’s delight, he let her stay

And when he’d had enough, he threw her out

And she found work in a small cafe

When she called they put her on hold

And the wall of silence grows;

Give me a break

Give me a break

This is Hollywood

Open the door

Open the door

What am I going to do

When the money runs out

And there isn’t any doubt

That I’ll have nowhere to go

Hollywood is just a dream

But when you’re only seventeen, it’s magical

She went home to hide away

She wore her sadness like a veil, and closed the door

Till the day she smiles and recalls

And the wall of silence falls…
