Queen of Hollywood

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh, oh

Yeah, yeah, yeah

She drove a long way through the night

From an urban neighborhood

She left her mother with 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 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 (Queen of Hollywood)

And the cynics, they will wonder

What's the difference with this dream

And the dreams of countless others all believin' in TV?

They see their handprints in a sidewalk

Flashin' 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 (Queen of Hollywood)

Yeah, hey

She's believing in a dream (Queen of Hollywood)

It's a loaded fantasy, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Now her mother collects cut-outs

And the pictures make her smile

But if she saw behind the curtain

It could only make her cry

She's got handprints 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

And 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 (Queen of Hollywood)

She is the queen of Hollywood, yeah, yeah

Queen of Hollywood (Queen of Hollywood)

And her friends still talk on corners

(Queen of Hollywood) Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

She is the queen of Hollywood

This is the queen of Hollywood, yeah, yeah
