Beloved Movie Star Lyrics - Stan Ridgway

My beloved movie star 

There's more than cold cream in your jar 

When eyebrows arch and lips are dry 

When you're alone at night, you cry 

Stuntmen make you feel secure 

Wrap you up in soft allure 

Your key light's bright, your close-up's now 

This picture could tank, but you'll make out somehow 

Can you hear the surf in malibu 

The red tide there is calling you 

You are the part, why don't they know 

Remember tallulah, janet, and garbo 

Behind you now 

See someone there 

She looks like you 

With blonder hair 

A newer one 

With a younger glow 

So you just cry all night 

In your bungalow
