Exactly The Point

Dim lights, smoky haze Velvet rope in hand Queen of the scene I survey the promised land Got the key to the kingdom The password to the clique Wanna join the elite, darling? Not my pick Honey, it's nothin' personal You just don't measure up We gotta keep standards Can't let the common drain our cup Overflowing with wannabes? This ain't a charity case We're not like everyone else, darling Gotta keep some space And that is exactly the point Gotta have a certain flair A touch of mystique And je ne sais quoi to spare So chin up, brush yourself off There's a whole world for you But this corner of heaven? Gates you'll never pass through Your dress might be designer But screams off-the-rack, dear Hair lookin' like a tumbleweed Caught in last year's atmosphere Family lineage, darling Matters more than you know That scandal from your mama's youth? Follows you like a shadow I've got the keys to the kingdom But it's not for the weak You gotta shine brighter And better be unique It's a tough game, darling But someone's got to play And one who toughs it out Is the one to stay And that is exactly the point Gotta have a certain flair A touch of mystique And je ne sais quoi to spare So chin up, brush yourself off There's a whole world for you But this corner of heaven? Gates you'll never pass through This corner of heaven? Gates you'll never pass through Don't you take it personally There's a waiting list a mile long Of hopefuls with dreams in their eyes Yearning to sing along And that is exactly the point Gotta have a certain flair A touch of mystique And je ne sais quoi to spare So chin up, brush yourself off There's a whole world for you But this corner of heaven? Gates you'll never pass through There's a whole wide world out there you see Just keep your dreams in that hideous purse Maybe one day you'll measure up to me Ha... As if
