"The
feeling
remains...
Even after
the glitter fades"

THE GREAT HOLLYWOOD HANGOVER
Some were rollin'...
some were rolling
stones
We had something to believe in...
in a
place so far from home
With one hand high in heaven...
the other reachin' for the gold
Oh, the legends unfolded...
out there on the coast
I felt the rumble...
when my feet touched the
ground
The hills over Sunset
were swollen with sound
I saw it rain fortunes of platinum and gold
And I'm still hung over--
still hanging
on
When some were rollin'
and some were rolling stones
BREAK...
Oh it seemed like the tip...
of a great pyramid
Strolling east of the moon,
out there on the strip
I drank in the magic,
had one for the road
And, I'm still hung over-- still hanging
on
When some were rollin'...
and some were
rolling stones
break...
From the edge of the ocean...
to the
place I call my home
From the door of the Whisky,
to the pages I now hold
Been moved by those memories
down so many roads
And I'm still hung over... still hangin' on
When some were rollin'...
and some were rolling stones
Repeat--
Fade...
End.
R.D. Simone, Third Stone-First Rose, 1998
