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
    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
    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
  (Queen of Hollywood)
  It's a loaded fantasy, yeah, yeah, yeah...
    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
    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, (Queen of Hollywood)
  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...
  Queen of Hollywood, (Queen of Hollywood) and
  Her friends still talk On Corners, (Queen of Hollywood)
  Yeah yeah yeah-ie...
  She's the Queen of Hollywood...
  Queen of Hollywood...
