release the stars : rufus wainwright

why do you keep all your stars in from your studio on melrose avenue? / you have locked all your assets up in lifelong contracts to you / didn't you know that old hollywood is over? / oh can't you see all the good that celebrity can do for those in the dark? / yes, of course, i'm speaking in metaphors for something more in your heart / didn't you know that old hollywood is over? // so why don't just release the gates and let them all come out? / remember that without them there would be no paramount / no paramount need to hold on to what isn't yours / release the stars // the more that you fight / then the more they will scrutinize and realize just your size / and believe me / you are no match / for the public that has seen the whites of your eyes / didn't you know that old hollywood is over? / old hollywood is over // so why don't just release the gates and let them all come out? / remember that without them there would be no paramount / no paramount need to hold on to what isn't yours / release the stars / release the stars / release your love / release the stars / release your love / cos hollywood is over / why do you keep all your stars in from your studio on melrose avenue?

i will never discuss lyrics with you ever again
