|
She drove a long way through the night |
|
From an urban neighborhood |
|
She left her mother in a fight |
|
For a dream misunderstood |
|
And her friends they talk on corners |
|
They could never comprehend |
|
But there was always something different |
|
In the way she held a stare |
|
And the pictures that she painted |
|
Were of glamor and of flair |
|
And her boyfriend though he loved her |
|
Knew he couldn't quite fulfill |
|
He could never meet her there |
|
She's never gonna be like the one before |
|
She read it in her stars that there's something more |
|
No matter what it takes, no matter how she breaks |
|
She'll be the queen of Hollywood |
|
And the cynics they will wonder |
|
What's the difference with this dream? |
|
And the dreams of countless others |
|
All believing in TV |
|
They see their hand prints in a sidewalk |
|
Flashing cameras on the scene |
|
And a shining Limousine |
|
She's never gonna be like the one before |
|
She read it in her stars that there's something more |
|
No matter what it takes, no matter how she breaks |
|
She'll be the queen of Hollywood |
|
She's believing in a dream |
|
Queen of Hollywood |
|
It's a loaded fantasy |
|
Now her mother collects cutouts |
|
And the pictures make her smile |
|
But if she saw behind the curtains |
|
It could only make her cry |
|
She's got hand prints on her body |
|
Sad moonbeams in her eyes |
|
Not so innocent a child |
|
She's never gonna be like the one before |
|
She read it in her stars that there's something more |
|
No matter what it takes, no matter how she breaks |
|
She'll be the queen of Hollywood |
|
No she's never gonna be like the one before |
|
She read it in her stars that there's something more |
|
No matter what it takes and even though she breaks |
|
She'll be the queen of Hollywood |
|
She is the queen of Hollywood |
|
Queen of Hollywood |
|
And friends still talk at the corners |
|
She's the queen of Hollywood |
|
She's the queen of Hollywood |
