She drove a long way through the night
From a urban neighborhood
She left her mother in a fight
For a dream misunderstood
And her friends they talk on croners
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
And the cynics they will wonder
What´s the different with this dream
And the dreams of countless others
All beliving in TV
They see their hand prints in a sidewalk
Flashing cameras on the scene
And a shining limousine
(Chorus)
She´s beliving 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
