Van Hunt - North Hollywood Lyrics

North Hollywood, North Hollywood

That’s my neighborhood

Hollywood, Holly North Hollywood

Girl, you got me hooked

I know you wish you could

Live in my neighborhood

Home of low and high-life crooks

So misunderstood



Not in death valley

But in the valley of death

There sits an oasis of concentrated goodness

Where i disappear and the next sound you hear

Is a melody over a vicious beat



North Hollywood, North Hollywood

That’s my neighborhood

She was taken in a Mexican raid

Girl, you got me hooked

I know you wish you could

Live in my neighborhood

First stop on the subway train

So misunderstood



There are no more secrets

After you’ve been evicted

Your story sits on abandoned couches

Politics of the kids in the low-level bounce houses

Mark the world as just a skate park



North Hollywood, North Hollywood

That’s my neighborhood

For the glamour of her sister’s fame

Her name was changed

I know you wish you could

Live in my neighborhood

Holly is just as she always was

A complicated love child



She shook the American dreamer

And she stole my heart



Emerging starlets

Dressed virgin-esque

Know the fastest way to a man’s pocket

Is on his rocket

Hot red schemes

To steal the scene in the dreams

Of the men who make the movies



North Hollywood, North Hollywood

That’s my neighborhood

She may not win your heart with just one look

But girl, you got me hooked

I know you wish you could

Live in my neighborhood

The crown jewel of saboteurs

Holly remains pure
