Beloved Movie Star Redux Lyrics - Holiday In Dirt - 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 

Manhattan calls 

Ignore Hong Kong 

Directors ring 

But you stand strong 

Drink champagne 

And celebrate 

The critics call 

And they think you're great 

My beloved movie star 

I have watched you from afar 

So confident and glamorous 

Yeah you make it look so easy to us 

Your agent calls, it's not your week 

It's a younger one that now they seek 

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 

My beloved movie star 

Now I know just where you are 

Up on a hill, in the backseat of a car 

You're my beloved movie star
