lyrics

16 years old. Dressed to kill, wearing high heels.
Angel face, x-rated smile, sexy blue eyes.
In a feline move, she comes to whisper in your ear.
The right words to send chills down your spine.

She’s a Beauty Queen.
Your princess for the night.
A Beauty Queen.
An Angel in the night.

Champagne on ice, cocaine, high class.
Pure child playing President’s wife.
Jet-set movie stars, they’ll pay the price.
Secret love, college girl. There’s no price.

She’s a Beauty Queen.
Get ready to be pleased.
Let off the steam.
With an expert teen.

She starts to strip, lighting up the room with her dazzling beauty.
Sweet innocent child dancing around. Delicate sensuality.
I should be excited, not in dismay, but I feel so guilty.
I wanna hold her tight, save her life, but she needs no pity.

She chose her path at young age.
How many would’ve liked to do the same?

She leads her life her own way.
She needs no one to hold her hand.

But how is she feeling?
I hope she won’t finish in pain.

She’s an expert teen.
Not a job you keep for life.
Sex, drugs and money.
Just a passion for a while.

about

Existence Montreal, Québec

Existence started as a “rock-opera” project written by Alan Charles. Joined by other musicians, the band took the name of the project before starting touring in 1992.

The album Small People, Short Story, Little Crime came out in 1999.

In 2017, Existence released the complete original concept as the ably titled Origins album, since only half of it had been released as an album until then.
