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
