She turned the key and she put the car in drive
From the window i watched her disappear from from my life
said this town is dead but she's alive
Gonna take her chances in the big city lights
I'm on the outside here tonight
You're turning left because you know it's not right

She wants to be a movie star
Ride in the clouds and drive a fast car
She's been gone so long in the dark
She don't know what she wants

She's leaving on an airplane in the night
Pulls up the shades ten thousand miles in the sky
She's hanging with the stars and wondering why
They're so high up but yet she's falling inside
With every scene maybe there's a price
You can sell it all but you can't buy back the time

She wants to be a movie star
Ride in the clouds and drive a fast car
She's been gone so long in the dark
She don't know what she wants
Whoa-oh-oh-ah-oh-oh [3x]
She don't know what she wants

It's so quiet there
But there's a fire there
Out of her control
Lying on the fourth floor
It's a crying shame
She can feel the flame
Maybe this love is born
One she hasn't felt before

She wants to be a movie star
Ride in the clouds and drive a fast car
She's been gone so long in the dark
She don't know what she wants
