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 glamour and of flair
And her boyfriend though he loved
her
Knew he couldn't quite compare
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 handprints 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
cut-outs
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
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's
the Queen of Hollywood and
Her friends still talk On Corners
She's the
Queen of Hollywood
