Starlight — текст песни (John Cale)

Words and music: lou reed & john cale



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, andys cecil b. demille

Come on l.a. give us a call

Weve got superstars who talk, theyll 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

Weve got color, weve got sound

Wont you recognize us, were everything you hate

Andy loves old hollywood movies, hell scare you hypocrites to death

You know that shooting ups for real

That person whos screaming, thats the way he really feels

Were all improvising, five movies in a week

If hollywood doesnt call us - well 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 them

Well make another and another

Starlight let us in that magic room

Weve all dreamt of hollywood

, it cant happen too soon

Wont you give us a million dollars the rent is due

And will give you 2 movies and a painting

Starlight open wide!
