lyrics

AUSTIN PELL AND THE DRAMA QUEEN
She lived for the attention
in the footlight's glare
she was chaos and pretention
and her fan base grew each year
but other actors, one by one
began to leave her scene
the tide was turning
on the Drama Queen
________________________
in the wings, a stage hand
named Austin Pell, kept faith
sixteen years, he'd loved the queen
she didn't know his name
She was a Drama Queen connected
only to herself
His love for her was all
one day he would confess, You're my
__________________________
chorus 1
Queen, my love and you'll
always be
The one for me
in my love you'd find another way to
eel, the heat
the love, the crush
the lights, the hush
you're not a one hit wonder
__________________________
Austin pulled the curtain
The Queen stepped on the stage
to the roar of boos and heckling
fans turned and walked away
her mascara ran like daggers
her heel broke and she cried
her wig, displaced, revealed some gray
Austin's heart was broken wide
________________________
Austin Pell forgot himself
he walked onto the stage
took her in his arms and said
you'll never be disgraced, cause You're my
__________________________
chorus 2
Queen, my love and you'll
always be
The one for me
we'll find another way to
feel, the heat
the love, the crush
the lights, the hush
you're not a one hit wonder
________________________
Backstage makeup mirror lights
revealed a woman on her own
free of glitz and artifice
a Queen without a show
Austin's eyes held hers, he said,
I'm casting you to be
a solo act, inside my heart
just one name on that marquee, You're my
__________________________
chorus 3
Queen, my love and you'll
always be
The one for me
in my love you'll find another way to
feel, to feel the heat
the love, the crush
the lights, the hush
