The English lyrics have several mistakes:
line 13 should be: "But YOU can't always win"
line 15 should be: "Are you coming with me" [remove the word "but" at the beginning]
"Won't confess all my sins" - would this not be better translated into German as: "Ich werde alle meine Sünden nicht bekennen"? (bekennen instead of einstehen)
I'm not sure about this one, but it may be that "the homecoming kind" does not refer to going home, but instead refers to an annual high school/college ritual that takes place in the fall of each year called "Homecoming." Homecoming is a community event and is generally characterized by a parade, a dance and other festivities.
> "Won't confess all my sins" - would this not be better translated into German as: "Ich werde alle meine Sünden nicht bekennen"? (bekennen instead of einstehen)
Better: "Ich werde nicht alle meine Sünden bekennen" (word order)
You're partially right about homecoming. It can also be considered a pun.
She isn't "the one who uses to come home to a house and a family" because she's one of the traveling people.
Also she isn't "the typical beauty queen with a lily-white image", i.e. she's one who loves to have fun, morals be damned.
Petrelli is right about homecoming!! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homecoming
there's a German link too!

Ich hab mir mal den Anfang angesehen. Nicht schlecht, aber ich glaube, du solltest dir die ganze Übersetzung nochmal genauer angucken.
"Crayons and dolls"
bedeutet "Farbstifte und Puppen", nicht "Freunde und Gedanken"....
"Not the homecoming kind" würde ich übersetzen mit "Keiner von denen, die nach Hause zurückkehren".
"You can bet I'll try it
But I can't always win "
ist "Du kannst darauf wetten, dass ich es versuchen werde
Aber ich kann nicht immer gewinnen"
