She drove a long way through the n ight
From an urban neighbourh ood
She left her mother in a f ight
For a dream misunders tood
And her friends they talk on c orners
They could never compreh end
But there was always something dif ferent
In the way she held a s tare
And the pictures that she p ainted
Were of glamour and of f lair
And her boyfriend though he loved h er
Knew he couldn't quite fulf ill
He could never meet her t here
She's never gonna b e like the one be fore
She read it in her s tars that there's something mo re
No matter what it t akes no matter how she br eaks
She'll be the queen of Hollyw ood
yeah, ye ah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Da da da d a da da
Da da da d a da da
And the cynics they will wonder
What's the difference with this dream
And the dreams of countless others
And believing in TV
They see their hand prints in a sidewalk
Flashing cameras on the scene
And a shining limousine
She's believing in a dream
It's loaded fantasy
Now her mother collected cut-outs
And the picture make her smile
But if she saw behind the curtains
It could only make her cry
She's believing in a d ream
It's a loaded fantas y
