Beauty Queen

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

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

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

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

I'll be alright
In this dingy club dancing round in the night time
On the blurred line
Sometimes I cry
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

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
I learned to sing but I still can't dance

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
I learned to sing but I still can't dance
