LOU REED - Starlight lyrics

rate me

Starlight open wide

starlight open up you door

This is New York calling

with movies on the street

Movies with real people

what you get is what you see

Starlight open wide

Andy's Cecil B. DeMille

Come on L.A. give us a call

we've got superstars who talk

they'll do anything at all

Ingrid, Viva, Little Joe

Baby Jane, and Eddie S.

But you better call us soon

before we talk ourselves to death

Starlight open wide

everybody is a star

Split screen 8 hour movies

we've got color, we've got sound

Won't you recognize us

we're everything you hate

Andy loves old Hollywood movies

he'll scare you hypocrites to death

You know that shooting up's for real

that person who's screaming

that's the way he really feels

We're all improvising

five movies in a week

If Hollywood doesn't call us

we'll be sick

Starlight open wide

do to movies what you did to art

Can you see beauty in ugliness

or is it playing in the dirt

There are stars out on the New York streets

we want to capture them on film

But if no one wants to see 'em

we'll make another and another

Starlight let us in that magic room

we've all dreamt of Hollywood

it can't happen too soon

Won't you give us a million dollars the rent is due

And will give you 2 movies and a painting

starlight open wide
