she wants to be in magazines and be beautiful for everyone to see

it's raining in her room again

so she turns off the TV

she wants to be on movie screens

so she practices her lines 

(and her kisses)

she's sleeping in a broken car 

that she borrowed from her best friend

she knows one day she'll make me proud

and all the world will look at her now

she smiles politely as she steps out of her dreams and wakes up

her eyes are open

the dream is over

the sky is falling

it's broken, it's broken

training to be a star, you know that you are...

he writes books of poetry

though he hasn't read any since he read e.e.

drinking himself to sleep 

pretending that he's boring

(not to sound deep)

he knows one day he'll write his book

and all the world will have a look

he smiles politely as he steps out of his dream and wakes up

she wants to be in magazine

he wants to act on movie screens

he sees those girls 

but they look the other way

Training to be a star.

you know that you are.
