Lou Reed
Starlight
[Verse 1]
Starlight open wide, starlight open up your 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

[Bridge 1]
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 Edie S
But you better call us soon before we talk ourselves to death

[Verse 2]
Starlight open wide, everybody is a star
Split screen eight 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

[Bridge 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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
[Bridge 3]
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's due
Andy will give you two movies and a painting, starlight open wide!
