Queen Of Hollywood

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 through he loved her Knew he couldn't quite fulfill He could never meet her there [Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 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 [Chorus] 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
