Dream Street Lyrics by Janet Jackson

Dream Street

And a bus comes in on the hollywood freeway in the dark

A face catches sight of home, though at this spirited town

Such a beating of the heart and a hope deep down inside

They say the streets are paved with gold

But it sure looks kind of cold outside



Steppin on the sidewalk with the stars beneath her feet

Just a handful of tourists, is all shes bound to meet

So tough to find a room and it takes more than a day

And its not too nice and the price is high

Somehow she cant help but cry

In a world full of fantasies, reality can hurt

Its about the fiction, the odds wont go with her on



[chorus]

Dream street, dream street

Will it all come true? will it all just fade away

Dream street, dream street

Well, its hard to find and

It wont let hope escape from dream street



A year goes by, and the situation she cant stand

Came to be an actress, but a waitress is all she lands

Her colleague smiles at her through the wrinkles of her face

She came here too, with the self-same goals

She never got out of this place



She makes her mind up, shes gonna leave that very night

Its been so long now since shes felt that good inside

She calls the service line, theres a message in there for her

Shes gotta star in a movie part, suddenly its all worthwhile

Oh a little bit closer now, but really still too far

Is it always out of reach, that bright and shiny star of



Repeat chorus
