Lyrics
0:09Starlight open wide
0:11Starlight open up your door
0:17This is New York calling
0:20With movies on the street
0:26Movies with real people
0:29What you get is what you see
0:35Starlight open wide
0:37Andy's Cecil B DeMille
0:44Come on L A give us a call
0:47We've got superstars who talk they'll do anything at all
0:52Ingrid Viva Little Joe Baby Jane and Eddie S
0:56But you better call us soon before we talk ourselves to death
1:09Starlight open wide
1:12Everybody is a star
1:18Split screen 8 hour movies
1:21We've got color we've got sound
1:27Won't you recognize us
1:30We're everything you hate
1:35Andy loves old Hollywood movies
1:38He'll scare you hypocrites to death
1:44You know that shooting up's for real
1:48That person who's screaming that's the way he really feels
1:53We're all improvising five movies in a week
1:57If Hollywood doesn't call us we'll be sick
2:11Starlight open wide
2:13Do to movies what you did to art
2:19Can you see beauty in ugliness
2:22Or is it playing in the dirt
2:27There are stars out on the New York streets
2:31We want to capture them on film
2:36But if no one wants to see 'em
2:39We'll make another and another
2:45Starlight let us in that magic room
2:49We've all dreamt of Hollywood it can't happen too soon
2:54Won't you give us a million dollars the rent is due
2:58And will give you 2 movies and a painting
3:01Starlight open wide
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 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
