- 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 quit
fulfill
- He could never meet
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
- It' s a loaded fantasy
-
- Now her mother
collects cuts-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
