Another perfect LA sunrise
Burns the California sky
And the vampires in West Wollywood
Start to come alive
I wonder what has lead me here
When I look back on my life
Well it was calling out
Yeah it was calling out
It was calling out to me
Ohhhh I was a hero
I fight for right
And try to make things right
Up on Hollywood boulevard
And Genesee it bakes sometimes
In those early summer rains
And the courtyard smells like cigarettes
And don't seem to wash away
Oh yea
Well it was calling out
Always calling out
It was calling out to me
Well it was calling out
And now it's crumbling down
All around me now
Ohhhh
I was a hero
I fight for light
And try to make things right
Up on Hollywood boulevard
Ohhhh
I was a hero
On the darkest nights
I'll try to find the lights
Up on Hollywood boulevard
And I can't see the stars from here
I don't get to see it's heart
We never seem to see true miracles
We always watch them come apart
I may not know what brought me here
But I'm damn sure who I am
I'm Clark Kent standing with the man of steel
And I'm coming home again
Ohhhh I'm a hero
I try to be polite
So I can stay alive
Up on Hollywood boulevard
