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 glamour and of flair

                            And her boyfriend though 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 handprints in a sidewalk

                          Flashing cameras on the scene

                          And a shining limousine

                          [Chorus]

                          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

                         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
