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
