mr. master – reseda blvd lyrics
[prod. by mr. master]
[intro: bobby darin]
ever since i was about yea high
i always wanted to go-
i always wanted to go to the town of hollywood
just so i could see all the motion picture stars
up close in person, huh?
and i’m sure if everybody in the audience
wanted to be real honest
well, you’d admit that at one time in your lives
you kinda really wanted to do the same thing
so if i may
i’d actually like to take you on an imaginary trip
with a fella who comes from, uh
from a small town in the states
[verse 1: mr. master]
the day started like any other
with the sound of tires screeching and metal folding
cars always crash at this intersection
accidents always happen
something you can’t ever forget in this line of work
everything was business as usual
until i saw that twinkle in the boss’s eyes when i walked in
“you are one lucky man,” he says
reaches in his left drawer, pulls out a picture frame
and puts it on the desk, it’s me
my official portrait
the one they hang on the wall
so the new guys know who not to f-ck with
eight years of wiping blood off my hands
and i’m that close to finally calling the shots around here
but it’s never that easy
he reaches in his right drawer, takes out a second frame
my wife. my kids
i don’t remember taking this picture
he says, “luck will only get you so far,” and stands up
walks toward me, eyes locked on mine
he says “you have until friday
by then, only one of us will have this job
and if you want it to be you
you’re going to have to take it from me.”
and he shoves me out the door
one guy, one job, only one way to make sure
let the games begin
3:42 in the morning
i’ve been staring at the world through my sniper’s sights
for the past five hours, waiting
staring at the world
the whole world in my hands
just a fl!ck of the finger, a pull of this trigger away
from the whole entire world…
staring at the world through his apartment window, waiting
for that dot to land
on the head of that body
on that obstacle in my way
this whole organization won’t know what hit it
sitting, staring, headlights, he’s here
staring, waiting. his head, trigger, bang
hero
imagine an irresistible force encounters an immovable object
equal magnitude, exact opposite directions. imagine the result
the thoughts ricocheted around my brain
the glory, the responsibility
the inhumanity, the savagery. the ceaselessness
the cycle
the success
the position was mine and i asked for everything that came with it
speeding down the highway
with all the confidence of a newly crowned king
until
that all too familiar sound
[outro: bobby darin:]
that’s the trouble with this town of hollywood
y’know what i mean?
it’s just a dream world
and i don’t need it
and i don’t need none of your picture stars
and i certainly don’t need your hooch
i don’t drink
