She stood there bright as the sun on that California coast   He was a midwestern boy on his own   She looked at him with those soft eyes, so innocent and blue   He knew right then he was too far from home   He was too far from home      She took his hand and she led him along that golden beach   They watched the waves tumble over the sand   They drove for miles and miles up those twisting turning roads   Higher and higher and higher they climbed      And those Hollywood night   In those Hollywood hills   She was looking so right   In her diamonds and frills   All those big city nights   In those high rolling hills   Above all the lights   She had all of the skills      He'd headed west 'cause he felt that a change would do him good   See some old friends, good for the soul   She had been born with a face that would let her get her way   He saw that face and he lost all control   He had lost all control      Night after night, day after day, it went on and on   Then came that morning he woke up alone   He spent all night staring down at the lights of LA   Wondering if he could ever go home      And those Hollywood nights   In those Hollywood hills   It was looking so right   It was giving him chills   In those big city nights   In those high rolling hills   Above all the lights   With a passion that kills      In those Hollywood nights   In those Hollywood hills   She was looking so right   In her diamonds and frills   All those big city lights   In those high rolling hills   Above all the lights   She had all of the skills
