Beauty Queen

[Verse 1]

Caught up in the quicksand

That’s what you get

For never sticking to the plan

Said the genie in the lamp

Or something

I’m caught in-between

A half-naked girl

And an old man’s final dream

Said mum I wanna be a beauty queen

She said you’ve got no chance

Cause you can’t sing and you can’t dance but

[Pre-Chorus]

You’ll be alright

Just be you locked up in your bedroom

No don’t go out

No don’t go outside

This whole world's a lie

It’s mean and it's tough

Especially when you talk too much

Just don’t go out

And you’ll be fine

[Chorus]

But I said hey wait

This is not the way I’m spending all my days

Hey wait

It’s just a phase hey

This is not the way I’m spending all my days

Hey wait

But I’ve got no chance

Cause I can’t sing and I can’t dance

[Verse 2]

How I long to just feel okay

There’s something in my head

And it won’t let me out no way

But I’m not the same as I used to be

Made it to the big time

Sequin skirt and my name in neon lights

The one I use at night

But I’ve got no chance

Cause I can’t sing and I can’t dance but

[Pre-Chorus]

I’ll be alright

In this dingy club dancing round in the night time

On the blurred line

Sometimes I cry

This whole worlds a lie

It’s mean and it tough

Especially when you talk too much

Just don’t go out

And you’ll be fine

[Chorus]

But I said hey wait

This is not the way I’m spending all my days

Hey wait

It’s just a phase hey

This is not the way I’m spending all my days

Hey wait

[Bridge]

But I’ve got no chance

I learned to sing but I still can’t dance

[Chorus]

I said hey wait

This is not the way I’m spending all my days

Hey wait

It’s just a phase hey

This is not the way I’m spending all my days

Hey wait

[Outro]

But I’ve got no chance

I learned to sing but I still can’t dance
