I've got a figure like a pin-up
Got a figure like a doll
Don't care if you think I'm dumb
I don't care at all
Candy bear, sweetie pie
I wanna be adored
I'm the girl you'd die for
I'll chew you up and I'll spit you out
'Cause that's what young love is all about
So pull me closer and kiss me hard
I'm gonna pop your bubblegum heart
I'm Miss Sugar Pink, liquor, liquor lips
Hit me with your sweet love
Steal me with a kiss
I'm Miss Sugar Pink, liquor, liquor lips
I'm gonna be your bubblegum bitch
I'm gonna be your bubblegum bitch
Queentex, latex, I'm your wonder maid
Life gave me some lemons, so I made some lemonade
Soda pop, soda pop, baby, here I come
Straight to number one
Oh, "Dear diary", I met a boy
He made my doll heart light up with joy
Oh, "Dear diary", we fell apart
Welcome to the life of Electra Heart
I'm Miss Sugar Pink, liquor, liquor lips
Hit me with your sweet love
Steal me with a kiss
I'm Miss Sugar Pink, liquor, liquor lips
I'm gonna be your bubblegum bitch
I'm gonna be your bubblegum bitch
I think I want your-, your American tan
Oh, oh, oh
I think you're gonna be my biggest fan
Oh, oh, oh
I'm Miss Sugar Pink, liquor, liquor lips
Hit me with your sweet love
Steal me with a kiss
I'm Miss Sugar Pink, liquor, liquor lips
I'm gonna be your bubblegum bitch
I'm gonna be your bubblegum bitch
I'm Miss Sugar Pink, liquor, liquor lips
Hit me with your sweet love
Steal me with a kiss
I'm Miss Sugar Pink, liquor, liquor lips
I'm gonna be your bubblegum bitch
I'm gonna be your bubblegum bitch
Murder lives forever and so does war
It's survival of the fittest, rich against the poor
At the end of the day, it's a human trait
Hidden deep down inside of our DNA
One man can build a bomb, another run a race
To save somebody's life and have it blow up in his face
I'm not the only one who finds it hard to understand
I'm not afraid of God, I am afraid of man
Is it running in our blood? Is it running in our veins?
Is it running in our genes? Is it in our DNA?
Humans aren't gonna behave as we think we always should
Yeah, we can be bad as we can be good
Underneath it all, we're just savages
Hidden behind shirts, ties and marriages
How could we expect anything at all?
We're just animals still learning how to crawl
We live, we die, we steal, we kill, we lie
Just like animals but with far less grace
We laugh, we cry like babies in the night
Forever running wild in the human race
Another day, another tale of rape
Another ticking bomb to bury deep and detonate
I'm not the only one who finds it hard to understand
I'm not afraid of God, I am afraid of man
You can see it on the news, you can watch it on TV
You can read it on your phone, you can say it's troubling
Humans aren't gonna behave as we think we always should
Yeah, we can be bad as we can be good
Underneath it all, we're just savages
Hidden behind shirts, ties and marriages
How could we expect anything at all?
We're just animals still learning how to crawl
Underneath it all we're just savages
Hidden behind shirts, ties and marriages
Truth is in us all, cradle to the grave
We're just animals still learning to behave
All the hate coming out from a generation
Who got everything and nothing guided by temptation
Were we born to abuse, shoot a gun and run
Or has something deep inside of us come undone?
Is it a human trait or is it learned behaviour?
Are you killing for yourself or killing for your saviour?
Underneath it all, we're just savages
Hidden behind shirts, ties and marriages
How could we expect anything at all?
We're just animals still learning how to crawl
Underneath it all we're just savages
Hidden behind shirts, ties and marriages
Truth is in us all, cradle to the grave
We're just animals still learning to behave
I was pulling out my hair
The day I got the deal, chemically calm
Was I meant to feel happy that my life
Was just about to change?
One life pretending to be the cat who got the cream
Oh, everybody said, "Marina is a dreamer"
People like to tell you what you're gonna be
It's not my problem if you don't see what I see
And I do not give a damn if you don't believe
My problem, it's my problem
That I never am happy
It's my problem, it's my problem
On how fast I will succeed
Are you satisfied with an average life?
Do I need to lie to make my way in life?
High achiever, don't you see?
Baby, nothing comes for free
They say I'm a control freak
Driven by a greed to succeed
Nobody can stop me
'Cause it's my problem if I want to pack up and run away
It's my business if I feel the need to smoke and drink and sway
It's my problem, it's my problem if I feel the need to hide
And it's my problem if I have no friends and feel I want to die
Are you satisfied with an average life?
Do I need to lie to make my way in life?
Are you satisfied with an easy ride?
Once you cross the line, will you be satisfied?
Sad inside in this life, unsatisfied, prayin'
Sad inside in this life, unsatisfied, waitin'
Are you satisfied with an average life?
Do I need to lie to make my way in life?
Are you satisfied with an easy ride?
Once you cross the line, will you be satisfied?
Black, white (are you satisfied, are you satisfied, are you satisfied?)
Black, white (are you satisfied, are you satisfied?)
Black, white (are you satisfied, are you satisfied, are you satisfied?)
Black, white (are you satisfied, are you satisfied?)
Our ancestors had to fight to survive
Just so we could have a chance of a life
We're not here so we can blow it all
We could bear witness to the rise and the fall
Ancient dreams in a modern land
I'm trying to get back as fast I can
Back to a time before I had form
Back to a time before I was born
You don't have to be like everybody else
You don't have to fit into the norm
You are not here to conform
I am here to take a look insidе myself
Recognize that I could bе the eye, the eye of the storm
I am not my body, not my mind or my brain (ha!)
Not my thoughts or feelings, I am not my DNA
I am the observer, I'm a witness of life
I live in the space between the stars and the sky
What's your purpose? Why were you put on Earth?
You could be lost but you belong to the world
We're now living in a seminal age
The walls are being broken and we're ready for change
Ancient dreams in a modern land
I'm trying to get back as fast I can
Back to a time before I had form
Back to a time before I was born
You don't have to be like everybody else
You don't have to fit into the norm
You are not here to conform
I am here to take a look inside myself
Recognize that I could be the eye, the eye of the storm
I am not my body, not my mind or my brain (ha!)
Not my thoughts or feelings, I am not my DNA
I am the observer, I'm a witness of life
I live in the space between the stars and the sky
From the heart of Malaysia
To the dark Himalayas
From the day we're born
You are not here to conform
You don't have to be like everybody else
You don't have to fit into the norm
You are not here to conform
I am here to take a look inside myself
Recognize that I could be the eye, the eye of the storm
I am not my body, not my mind or my brain (ha!)
Not my thoughts or feelings, I am not my DNA
I am the observer, I'm a witness of life
I live in the space between the stars and the sky
Hmm, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, ooh
Yeah, I feel I'm watered down
Whenever he's around
I put on the crown of clowns
And melt slowly to the ground
Yeah, I feel it comin' on
When I've been static for too long
And an explosion comes in time
Before I go and cross the line
They say, "You used to be so kind
I never knew you had such a dirty mind"
Well, I went to the doctors believing
The devil had control over me
I was finding it hard to breathe
And finding it hard to fight the feelin'
When my heart just burst, like a glass balloon
I let it fly too high, and it shattered too soon
I was the wrong damn girl in the wrong damn room
I broke my glass balloon
I let go of my glass balloon
They call him Hermit the Frog
He's looking for a dog
Did you find your bitch in me?
Oh, you're abominable socially
You're just a little bit too much like me
She says, "She used to be so kind"
Well baby, I give you your dirty mind
Well I, I wanna tell you a secret
You can take your double standard love, and keep it
I can't help the devil likes to make my heart a double bed
And I can't help he sometimes likes to come, and rest his little head
When my heart just burst, like a glass balloon
I let it fly too high, and it shattered too soon
I was the wrong damn girl in the wrong damn room
I broke my glass balloon
I let go of my glass balloon
Oh, my heart just burst, like a glass balloon
We let them fly too high, and they shattered too soon
Are we the wrong damn people in the wrong damn room?
We broke our glass balloons
We let go of our glass balloons
We broke our glass balloon
Let go of my glass balloon
I wanna be a bottle blonde
I don't know why but I feel conned
I wanna be an idle teen
I wish I hadn't been so clean
I wanna stay inside all day
I want the world to go away
I want blood, guts and chocolate cake
I wanna be a real fake
Yeah, I wish I'd been a, wish I'd been a teen, teen idle
Wish I'd been a prom queen, fighting for the title
Instead of being sixteen and burning up a bible
Feeling super, super (super!) suicidal
The wasted years, the wasted youth
The pretty lies, the ugly truth
And the day has come where I have died
Only to find I've come alive
I wanna be a virgin pure, a 21st century whore
I want back my virginity so I can feel infinity
I wanna drink until I ache
I wanna make a big mistake
I want blood, guts and angel cake
I'm gonna puke it anyway
Yeah, I wish I'd been a, wish I'd been a teen, teen idle
Wish I'd been a prom queen, fighting for the title
Instead of being sixteen and burning up a bible
Feeling super, super (super!) suicidal
The wasted years, the wasted youth
The pretty lies, the ugly truth
And the day has come where I have died
Only to find I've come alive
Come alive, I've come alive
I wish I wasn't such a narcissist
I wish I didn't really kiss the mirror when I'm on my own
Oh God, I'm gonna die alone!
Adolescence didn't make sense
A little loss of innocence
The ugly years of being a fool
Ain't youth meant to be beautiful?
Yeah, I wish I'd been a, wish I'd been a teen, teen idle
Wish I'd been a prom queen, fighting for the title
Instead of being sixteen and burning up a bible
Feeling super, super (super!) suicidal
The wasted years, the wasted youth
The pretty lies, the ugly truth
And the day has come where I have died
Only to find I've come alive
Only to find I've come alive
Only to find I've come alive
Come alive
Feeling super, super, super!
Feeling super, super, super!
Feeling super, super, super!
Come alive
Used to be a major scale
But the melody went stale
Musical cacophony, let
Insy Winsy Spider free
You're a rich little boy
Who's had to work for his toys
You've got all the sensibilities, oh
Of an upper class guy
No, no, I'm not your little slave
No, I don't twist and turn that way
Only got bad things to say
You're always asking what is up, up with me
Could never tell you what happened
The day I turned seventeen
The rise of a king, and the fall of a queen
Oh, seventeen
Seventeen
Oh, you were embarrassed of me
'Cause I used my tongue freely
Bet you wish I couldn't speak
'Cause when I do, you know I tell you why you appear weak
You want a hassle-free life?
Go get your upper class wife
Oh, she's got all the personality, oh
Of a lemon that has been truly sucked dry
You teach me how to behave
I felt you question the way-ay
I was brought up as a baby
Well, you don't know fuck about my family
Could never tell you what happened
The day I turned seventeen
The rise of a king, and the fall of a queen
Oh, seventeen (seventeen)
No, seventeen
Oh, seventeen
The rise of the king, and the fall of a queen
Oh, seventeen
Never felt like a princess
I used to kid myself in this dress
That it was just how things were meant to be
Oh, seventeen
Seventeen
Sé que te gusto a ti todavía
Tres, dos, uno
Standing here in an empty room
I saw you there and my blood ran cold
Take me back to that long September
Don't know how I ever let you go
I was young, didn't know 'bout love
You were wild, couldn't get enough
Gave my heart to another lover
Don't know how I ever let you go
Find me in another place and time
If only, if only you were mine
But I'm already someone else's baby
Guess I had my last chance
And now this is our last dance
You fell through the cracks in my hands
Hard to say it's over
But I'm already someone else's (c'mon)
Baby, ahh
Baby, ahh
Baby, ahh
I'm already someone else's
All caught up in the way we were
I feel your hands getting close to mine
Don't say the words that I love to hear
The beat goes on and I close my eyes
I was young, didn't know 'bout love
You were wild, couldn't get enough
Let's leave things the way they were
You'll stay with me like a lullaby
Hey
Sé que te gusto a ti todavía, por mucho que digas
Además puedo ver en tus ojos
Que no solo quieres quedar como amigos
Tienes mi corazón, eres mi obsesión
Soy tuyo pa' siempre
Guess I had my last chance
And now this is our last dance
You fell through the cracks in my hands
Tell myself be stronger
My heart's like a rubber band
And it's such a shame
You'll always be the one who got away
We both know that deep down you feel the same
Hard to say it's over
But I'm already someone else's (c'mon)
Baby, ahh (eso no, eso no)
Baby, ahh (mereces mejor)
Baby, ahh (quiero tu calor)
I'm already someone else's
Wish I met you at another place and time
If only, if only you were mine
This love story ends for you and I
'Cause I'm already someone else's
Baby, ahh (y lo digo otra vez)
Baby, ahh (mereces mucho mejor, mucho mejor)
Baby, ahh (lo que tienes con él, no es amor, no)
I'm already someone else's (hey)
Baby, ahh (cada noche más te extraño, cada día sin ti me hace daño)
Baby, ahh (sabes que mereces mejor, lo que sientes por él, ya no es amor)
Baby, ahh (por mucho que digas, somos más que amigos)
I'm already someone else's (y el tiempo se acaba en cuatro, tres, dos, uno)
I can't break the cycle, am I just a fool?
Fallin' down like dominoes, hit by family jewels
Pass it down from kid to kid, the chain will never end
'Less I decide to go to it, will I see the end?
Ooh, don't you find it strange?
Only thing we share is one last name
Did I beat you at your own game?
Typical of me to put us all to shame
Welcome to the family jewels
Coal to diamond, sold to fools
Welcome to the family jewels
Simmerin' sapphire can't keep his cool
I can't keep my cool
I can't keep my cool
Family said that I decided to live a loveless life
Is it my fault we stay divided? 'Cause I got too much pride
Pass the parcel, wrap, unwrap, and open up the locks
Out come flying all the secrets of Pandora's box
Oh, you think I'm unfit
Little did you know that I was cut for it
No glass slipper will ever fit
'Cause I could never see a diamond in it
Welcome to the family jewels
Coal to diamond, sold to fools
Welcome to the family jewels
Simmerin' sapphire can't keep his cool
I can't keep my cool
I can't keep my cool
And when we're in the dark, it echoes in your heart
And when you're far away, it beckons me to stay
And when we're in the dark, it echoes in your heart
And when you're far away, it beckons me to stay
Welcome to the family jewels
Coal to diamond, sold to fools
Welcome to the family jewels
Simmerin' sapphire can't keep his cool
Welcome to the family jewels
Coal to diamond, sold to fools
Welcome to the family jewels
Simmerin' sapphire can't keep his cool
I can't keep my cool
I can't keep my cool
Look like a girl
But I think like a guy
Not ladylike
To behave like a slime
Easy to be sleazy
When you've got a filthy mind
You stick to your yogurts
I'll stick to my apple pie
Girls are not meant to fight dirty
Never look a day past 30
Not gonna bend over and curtsy
For you
Is there any possibility
You'll quit gossiping about me
To hide your insecurities?
All you say is "blah, blah"
Girls, they never befriend me
'Cause I fall asleep when they speak
Of all the calories they eat
All they say is "na, na, na, na, na"
Na, na, na, na, na
Girls, oh girls
Wag your tails to the beat
Of Girls Aloud
All the journos in heat
Write such good stories
Oh, their mothers must be proud
Making money off your insecurity and doubt
Girls are not meant to fight dirty
Never look a day past 30
Not gonna bend over and curtsy
For you
Is there any possibility
You'll quit gossiping about me
To hide your insecurities?
All you say is "blah, blah"
Girls, they never befriend me
'Cause I fall asleep when they speak
Of all the calories they eat
All they say is "na, na, na, na, na"
Na, na, na, na, na
All they say is "na, na, na"
Na, na, na, na, na
I feel I've been riding in a fast car
Burning dirty gas won't get you that far
I feel I've been riding up the wrong path
But I'm gonna make sure I get the last laugh
Is there any possibility
You'll quit gossiping about me
To hide your insecurities?
All you say is "blah, blah"
Girls, they never befriend me
'Cause I fall asleep when they speak
Of all the calories they eat
All they say is "na, na, na, na, na"
(Wag your tails, wag your tails to the beat)
Na, na, na, na, na
(Wag your tails, wag your tails to the beat)
All they say is "na, na, na, na, na"
(Wag your tails, wag your tails to the beat)
Na, na, na, na, na
(Wag your tails, wag your tails to the beat)
All my friends are witches and we live in Hollywood
Mystical bitches making our own sisterhood
While society is falling, we are quietly reforming
Protecting the planet, healing our own damage
Quarantined all alone, Mother Nature's on the phone
"What have you been doing? Don't forget I am your home
Virus come, fires burn until human beings learn
From every disaster, you are not my master"
Need to purge the poison, show us our humanity
All the bad and good, racism and misogyny
Nothing's hidden anymore, capitalism made us poor
God forgive America for every single war
Need to purge the poison from our system
Until human beings listen
Tell me, who'd you think you are?
It's your own decision
But your home is now your prison
You forgot that without me you won't go far
Need to purge the poison from our system
Until human beings listen
Tell me, who'd you think you are?
2007 when size zero was the rage
Britney shaved her head and
All we did was call her crazed
Harvey Weinstein's gone to jail
'Me Too' went on to unveil
Truth and all its glory
The ending of a story
It's a new world order, everything just falls away
Our life as we knew it now belongs to yesterday
Inside all the love and hate, we can now regenerate
Stop how we've been living every single day
Need to purge the poison from our system
Until human beings listen
Tell me, who'd you think you are?
It's your own decision
But your home is now your prison
You forgot that without me you won't go far
Need to purge the poison from our system
Until human beings listen
Tell me, who'd you think you are?
I just want a world where I can see the feminine
We only make up one-quarter of the government
Like an angel gone to Hell
Cast the moon under our spell
Owning female power, taking back what's ours
Earth is like a white rose
Quiet cloud of petals fold
A place so corrupt where
Angel flesh and blood is sold
The feminine is born as new
Studded with a diamond dew
Solitude was coming, everybody knew
Need to purge the poison from our system
Until human beings listen
Tell me, who'd you think you are?
It's your own decision
But your home is now your prison
You forgot that without me you won't go far
Need to purge the poison from our system
Until human beings listen
Tell me, who'd you think you are?
It's your own decision
But your home is now your prison
You forgot that without me you won't go far
The pagodas and the palaces
Dressed in gold leaf, hide the damages
Spot the Geisha as she balances
Life's a cakewalk full of challenges
Go to Russia, see the Red Square
Lenin's body lying dead there
From Kyoto, Hiroshima
Watch the black cloud crawling nearer
There were riots in America
Just when things were getting better
All the things I've done and seen
Still I don't know what life means
All the people living in
Living in the world today
We're united by our love
We're united by our pain
Ooh, all the things that I've done and I've seen
Still I don't know, don't know what it means
Fly to Athens, past the Parthenon
See the village where my father's from
To Chicago from Angola
São Paulo to Verona
And anywhere you go, you see
People are just like you and me
All the things I've done and seen
Still I don't know what life means
All the people living in
Living in the world today
We're united by our love
We're united by our pain
Ooh, all the things that I've done and I've seen
Still I don't know, don't know what it means
To be human
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Still I don't know, don't know what it means
To be human, a real human being
I like to think about how we all look from afar
People driving fancy cars look like beetles to the stars
The missiles and the bombs sound like symphonies gone wrong
And if there is a God, they'll know why it's so hard
To be human
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
To be human
Still I don't know, don't know what it means
To be human, a real human being
(To be human) I want connection, ooh
I wanna feel human again
(To be human) Lost my direction, ooh
I wanna feel human again
To be human
To be human
To be human
To be human
Rule number one: is that you gotta have fun
But, baby, when you're done
You gotta be the first to run
Rule number two: just don't get attached to
Somebody you could lose
So le-let me tell you
This is how to be a heartbreaker
Boys they like a little danger
We'll get 'em fallin' for a stranger, a player
Singin', "I lo-lo-love you"
How to be a heartbreaker
Boys they like the look of danger
We'll get 'em fallin' for a stranger, a player
Singin', "I lo-lo-love you" (at least I think I do)
'Cuz I lo-lo-lo-love you
Rule number three: wear your heart on your cheek
But never on your sleeve
Unless you wanna taste defeat
Rule number four: gotta be lookin' pure
Kiss him goodbye at the door
And leave him wantin' more, more
This is how to be a heartbreaker
Boys they like a little danger
We'll get 'em fallin' for a stranger, a player
Singin', "I lo-lo-love you"
How to be a heartbreaker
Boys they like the look of danger
We'll get 'em fallin' for a stranger, a player
Singin', "I lo-lo-love you" (at least I think I do)
'Cuz I lo-lo-lo-love you
Girls, we do whatever it will take
'Cuz girls don't want, we don't want our hearts to break
In two, so it's better to be fake
Can't risk losin' in love again, babe
This is how to be a heartbreaker
Boys they like a little danger
We'll get 'em fallin' for a stranger, a player
Singin', "I lo-lo-love you"
How to be a heartbreaker
Boys they like the look of danger
We'll get 'em fallin' for a stranger, a player
Singin', "I lo-lo-love you"
'Cuz I lo-lo-lo-love you (at least I think I do)
Cheeks are rosy like a Boucher cherub
I'm a strawberry soda, raise my lashes to heaven
Stars in my hair running like a waterfall
Clouds in the whites of our eyes, we saw it all
Burnt me at the stake, you thought I was a witch
Centuries ago, now you just call me a bitch
Mother Nature's dying
Nobody's keeping score
I don't wanna live in a man's world anymore
I don't wanna live in a man's world anymore
Anymore
Marilyn's bungalow, it's number seven
In the pink palace where men made her legend
Owned by a sheik who killed thousands of gay men
I guess that's why he bought the campest hotel in LA then
Mother Nature's dying
Nobody's keeping score
I don't wanna live in a man's world anymore
I don't wanna live in a man's world anymore
If you have a mother, daughter, or a friend
Maybe it is time, time you comprehend
The world that you live in ain't the same one as them
So don't punish me for not being a man
Spring appears when the time is right
Women are violets coming to light
Don't underestimate the making of life
The planet has a funny way of stopping a fight
Mother Nature's dying
Nobody's keeping score
I don't wanna live in a man's world anymore
I don't wanna live in a man's world anymore
If you have a mother, daughter or a friend
Maybe it is time, time you comprehend
The world that you live in ain't the same one as them
So don't punish me 'cause I'm not a man
So don't punish me 'cause I'm not a man
'Cause I'm not a man
Whatever you give life, you will get back
Why be a wallflower when you can be a Venus fly trap?
I never quite fit in to that Hollywood thing
I didn't play that game for the money or the fame
I did it my way, baby
Nothing in this world could change me
Don't underestimate me
'Cause one day you're gonna see you're in a losing battle
Babe, you'll never stop me being me
I got the beauty, got the brains
Got the power, hold the reins
I should be motherfuckin' crazy
Nothing in this world could change me
I sacrificed it all for a life to call mine
All the love and security to be myself, oh, I
I know that money ain't important
And it don't mean you're the best
But I earned it all myself and I'm a millionairess
I did it my way, baby
Nothing in this world could change me
Don't underestimate me
'Cause one day you're gonna see you're in a losing battle
Babe, you'll never stop me being me
I got the beauty, got the brains
Got the power, hold the reins
I should be motherfuckin' crazy
Nothing in this world could change me
They'll shame you, blame you, pretend to even hate you
Take away your rights, pacify you with their lies
Whatever you give life, you are gonna get back
Why be a wallflower when you can be a Venus fly trap?
Don't underestimate me
'Cause one day you're gonna see you're in a losing battle
Babe, you'll never stop me being me
'Cause whatever you give life, you're gonna get back
Why be a wallflower when you can be a Venus fly trap?
Nothing in this world, ooh-oh-ooh-oh
Nothing in this world could change me
Me
You're hard to hug, tough to talk to
And I never fall asleep, when you're in my bed
All you give me is a heartbeat
I've turned into a statue, and it makes me feel depressed
'Cause the only time you open up is when we get undressed
You don't love me, big fucking deal
I'll never tell you how I feel
You don't love me, not a big deal
I'll never tell you how I feel
It almost feels like a joke to play a part
When you are not a starring role, in someone else's heart
You know I'd rather walk alone (rather walk alone)
Than play a supporting role
If I can't get the starring role
Sometimes, I ignore you, so I feel in control
'Cause really, I adore you, and I can't leave you alone
Fed up with the fantasies that cover what is wrong
Come on, baby, let's just get drunk, forget we don't get on
You're like my dad, you'd get on well
I send my best regards from Hell
It almost feels like a joke to play out a part
When you are not a starring role, in someone else's heart
You know I'd rather walk alone (rather walk alone)
Than play a supporting role
If I can't get the starring role
I never sang for love, I never had a heart to mend
Because before the start began, I always saw the end
Yeah, I wait for you to open up, to give yourself to me
But nothing's ever gonna give, I'll never set you free
Yeah, I'll never set you free
It almost feels like a joke to play a part
When you are not a starring role, in someone else's heart
You know I'd rather walk alone (rather walk alone)
Than play a supporting role
If I can't get the starring role
The starring role
In the valley of the dolls we sleep, we sleep
Got a hole inside of me, of me
Born with a void, hard to destroy
With love or hope
Built with a heart, broken from the start
And now, I die slow
In the valley of the dolls, we sleep
Got a hole inside of me
Living with identities
That do not belong to me
In my life, I got this far
Now I'm ready for the last hoorah
Dying like a shooting star
In the valley, in the valley, in the valley
Pick a personality for free
When you feel like nobody-body
Born with a void, hard to destroy
With love or hope
Built with a heart, broken from the start
And now, I die slow
In the valley of the dolls, we sleep
Got a hole inside of me
Living with identities
That do not belong to me
In my life, I got this far
Now I'm ready for the last hoorah
Dying like a shooting star
In the valley, in the valley, in the valley
Back to zero, here we go again, again
Racing down into oblivion
Back to zero, here we go
I can feel it coming to the end, the end
In the valley of the dolls, we sleep
Got a hole inside of me
Living with identities
That do not belong to me
In my life, I got this far
Now I'm ready for the last hoorah
Dying like a shooting star
In the valley, in the valley, in the valley
In the valley, in the valley
American queen is the American dream
American queen is the American dream
She is a Polish girl in America
Tall, tanned, hot blond, called Anja
I asked her, "Why would you wanna be a Hollywood wife?"
"Because I don't want to end up living in a dive on Vine"
"A dive on Vine"
Air hostesses doing gossip magazine
Crosswords on a flight to JFK
Thirty-nine years old
With a mile-high sheen
Trying to stimulate a mind
That is slowly starting to decay
I itch my skin, I jump up and say
"Lady, I know why your thoughts turn grey."
Hollywood infected your brain
You wanted kissing in the rain, oh, oh
Living in a movie scene
Puking American dreams, oh, oh
I'm obsessed with the mess that's America, ooh
I'm obsessed with the mess that's America
A fat security making place for me
Soon as I touch down in old L.A.
He said, "Oh, my god, you look just like Shakira"
"No, no, you're Catherine Zeta!"
"Actually, my name's Marina"
Your mind is just like mine
All filled up with things benign
You're looking for the golden lie
Hollywood infected your brain
You wanted kissing in the rain, oh, oh
I've been living in a movie scene
Puking American dreams, oh, oh
I'm obsessed with the mess that's America, ooh
I'm obsessed with the mess that's America
American dream is the American queen
American queen is the American dream
Is the American dream
Hollywood infected your brain
You wanted kissing in the rain, oh, oh
I've been living in a movie scene
Puking American dreams, oh, oh
Hollywood infected your brain
You wanted kissing in the rain, oh, oh
I've been living in a movie scene
Puking American dreams, oh, oh
I'm obsessed with the mess that's America, woo-hoo
I'm obsessed with the mess that's America
