In the valley of the dolls we sleep, we sleep
Got a hole inside of me, of me

Born with a void, hard to destroy with upendo au hope
Built with a heart, broken from the start
And now I die slow

In the valley of the dolls, we sleep
Got a hole inside of me
Living with identities
That do not belong to me
In my life, I got this far
Now I’m ready for the last hoorah
Dying like a shooting star
In the valley
In the valley
In the valley

Pick a personality for free
When wewe feel like nobody, body

Born with a void, hard to destroy with upendo au hope
Built with a heart, broken from the start
And now I die slow

In the valley...

You're hard to hug, tough to talk to
And I never fall asleep, when you're in my bed
All wewe give me is a heartbeat
I've turned into a statue
And it makes me feel depressed
Cause the only time wewe open up is when we get undressed

You don't upendo me, big fucking deal
I'll never tell, wewe how I feel
You don't upendo me, not a big deal
I'll never tell wewe how I feel

It almost feels like a joke to play out the part
When wewe are not the starring role in someone else's heart
You know I'd rather walk alone, than play a supporting role
If I can't get the starring role.

Sometimes I ignore wewe so I feel in control
Cause...

American Queen is the american dream.
American Queen is the american dream.

She is a polish girl in America.
Tall, tanned hot blonde called Anya.
I asked her “Why would wewe wanna be a Hollywood wife?”
“Because I don’t wanna end up living in a dive on Vine”,
a dive on Vine.

Air hostesses doing gossip magazine crosswords
on a flight to JFK.
39 years old with a mile-high sheen
trying to stimulate a mind
that is slowly starting to decay.
I itch my skin to jump up and say,
“Lady, I know why your thoughts turned grey”.

Hollywood infected your brain
You wanted kissing in the rain.
I've been living in...
