Ballad of a Hollywood Dreamer

I never dreamed till I was seventeen And I walked right inside my old TV Who would I be if I was seventeen? Would I swear I was never ever gonna leave? We don't have to stay here Fine, we could go up till we reach the sky I heard that they hold auditions until 9 But don't you think that everyone Just wants you to stop trying Wanting you back but they're lying And I can't help but wish we were birds Taking off and flying Cause I never dreamed till I was seventeen And thought I'd be a dancer in a movie scene Who would I be if I was seventeen? Would I stand up to anyone or anything And I still wanna stay here Fine Cause I hear they're calling, calling back till 9 And they say I must be ready all the time And my agent said I must pretend I'm fine And dye my hair blonde that night The role would sure be mine Cause I never dreamed till I was seventeen And I walked right inside my old TV Who would I be if I was seventeen? Would I swear I was never ever gonna leave? What does it mean to be free? And does it mean you're a bird in your sleep Does it mean you don't call when you leave But then how do they know where to send your stuff? What does it mean to be free? Does it mean you're a car in your sleep And you drive but you don't wanna think But then how do you know where you're going yeah Where you're going at? Cause I never dreamed till I was seventeen And thought I'd be a dancer in a movie scene Who would I be if I was seventeen? Would I stand up to anyone or anything
