Porcelain Queen

(album: Runaway Brides - 2005)

Found the key on the wooden table
Unlock this unwritten fable
One blank page
Is all I need
When the glamour goes
Sofia knows
Velveteen
Movie queen
When out go the lights
She'll bow goodnight
One last time forever
Her gleaming
Was enchanting
Was romancing
The silver screen
She was always dreaming
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah!

It was your will
You drank your pill
And now your Hollywood cries forever and ever
Forever and ever in vein

You don't understand
So I'll write it down into words
Bout the moon and stars
And the sun and the sea
And how they all converge
And I'm loving you
And it's killing me
And I'm warning you
That there's nothing else I can do

Found the key on the wooden table
Unlock this unwritten fable
One blank page
Is all I need

And all the king horses and all the king men
All gathered round to see what's happening
To see what happened
To a porcelain queen
[?]

Her shimmer was condescending
Offending
The silver screen
Out went the lights
She bowed goodnight
A fond farewell forever
Her cleaning
Was pretending
Was lamenting
Hiding everything
Angel you were bleeding
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah!

It was your will
You drank your pill
And now your Hollywood cries forever and ever
Forever and ever in vein

You don't understand
So I'll write it down into words
Bout the moon and stars
And the sun and the sea
And how they all converge
And I'm loving you
And it's killing me
And I'm warning you
That there's nothing else I can do...
