John Cale - Starlight Lyrics
Words and music: lou reed & john caleStarlight open wide, starlight open up you doorThis is new york calling with movies on the streetMovies with real people, what you get is what you seeStarlight open wide, andys cecil b. demilleCome on l.a. give us a callWeve got superstars who talk, theyll do anything at allIngrid, viva, little joe, baby jane, and eddie s.But you better call us soon before we talk ourselves to deathStarlight open wide everybody is a starSplit screen 8-hour moviesWeve got color, weve got soundWont you recognize us, were everything you hateAndy loves old hollywood movies, hell scare you hypocrites to deathYou know that shooting ups for realThat person whos screaming, thats the way he really feelsWere all improvising, five movies in a weekIf hollywood doesnt call us - well be sickStarlight open wideDo to movies what you did to artCan you see beauty in ugliness, or is it playing in the dirtThere are stars out on the new york streetsWe want to capture them on filmBut if no one wants to see themWell make another and anotherStarlight let us in that magic roomWeve all dreamt of hollywood, it cant happen too soonWont you give us a million dollars the rent is dueAnd will give you 2 movies and a paintingStarlight open wide!
