The Grand Duchess of San Francisco She holds court every Thursday night Watching the mirror at the disco To see her stones touched by the light She parties like she's won a war Willing to die for a truth that no one sees That her love pours from the heart of God Though to the world it's just a disease She hates to live in the spotlight 'Cause ain't life just a bitter pill She hates to live in the spotlight But it's an emptiness she can fill Only men worry if they're not free Philosophy - it makes her sigh She serves at the pleasure of the king And everything else she says is a lie She hates to live in the spotlight But honey who could refuse She hates to live in the spotlight But it's where she can't lose
