City Queen

Glitter in the city, she's the queen tonight Dancing on the edge, where the neon lights Fairy tales in heels, living out her dreams But the clock's ticking, and the night's not what it seems She walks the streets, in her glass shoes so tight City's heartbeat, under the moon's soft light Rags to riches, but the story's not clear Every glance, every step, she's living on the edge here No prince in shining armor, just a ride in a car From the back alleys to the bright stars Her smile's a mask, her eyes tell the truth In this concrete jungle, she's got nothing to lose Glitter in the city, she's the queen tonight Dancing on the edge, where the neon lights Fairy tales in heels, living out her dreams But the clock's ticking, and the night's not what it seems She's got the moves, the charm, the perfect line Turning heads, making them think, making them pine But behind the scenes, the story's a bit skewed A girl in the spotlight, but her heart is bruised She's the star, but the stage is a trap Living the dream, but the dream's a bit damp Every laugh, every cheer, hides the pain inside In this world of glitter, she's just trying to survive Glitter in the city, she's the queen tonight Dancing on the edge, where the neon lights Fairy tales in heels, living out her dreams But the clock's ticking, and the night's not what it seems Behind the glamour, the real story lies A girl with a dream, but the price is high She's the modern Queen, in a different kind of tale Where the ending's not set, and the future's frail Glitter in the city, she's the queen tonight Dancing on the edge, where the neon lights Fairy tales in heels, living out her dreams But the clock's ticking, and the night's not what it seems So she dances, through the night Hoping for a different light In the city, where dreams collide She's the queen, but the clock ticks, and the night's a lie
