501 Beauty Queen
She's got nice lips, a seductive smile
She's still as thin as a beanpole
With a little less class, but a little more style
And she spends all her time
Trying not to hear what she doesn't want to know,
Don't want to know
And there's Kellogg's in the cupboard
She takes her heart down from off the shelf
She passes by the mirror
She doesn't like to look at herself
Cause she'd rather lose touch with reality
Than lose her fantasy,
Her fantasy
And her smile is as faded as a used pair of jeans
And her heart is frayed around the edges,
She's coming undone at the seams
And it's her last chance to make a statement,
It's her last go at the scene
She's a 501 Beauty Queen
And there's flowers on the table,
She's lovely, she's lovely not
But circles only make the hunger grow
So she goes out a lot
And she's out there, just running around,
Trying to make up for some lost time,
Lost time
And she sits down for a social call,
Like a princess she puffs on a cigarette
Her beauty is all threadbare now,
But she's never gonna let them forget, 'cause
My how she looks smashing in her gold lamme tank top
With the fancy beadwork on front,
The beadworks on front
And her smile is as faded as a used pair of jeans
And her heart is frayed around the edges,
She's coming undone at the seams
And it's her last chance to make a statement,
It's her last go at the scene
She's a 501 Beauty Queen
And her voice chimes like a bell in the night
It just don't know when to quit
She used to have more options
Now she wishes that she'd already picked
And she wishes she couldn't remember
All those things she'll never forget,
Never forget
And the lines, they all go deeper
Than the days of her youth
She flirts and lies
And always denies
What, to her, is no longer of any use
But it's not because she hates what she doesn't understand,
She just don't understand
And her smile is as faded as a used pair of jeans
And her heart is frayed around the edges,
She's coming undone at the seams
And it's her last chance to make a statement,
It's her last go at the scene
She's a 501 Beauty Queen
