Lyrics
She's got angels, she's got movie stars
In her dream life she's got bodyguards
Yeah, she got those bodyguards
Just like movie stars (Oh yeah, she does)
Just like movie stars
In the shadows of the street bazaar
The sound of bells ring out from ice cream cars
And my lifeguard, she gives me CPR
As we hide in the dark, just like movie stars (Yeah, we do)
We're just like movie stars
Yellow raincoats crowd the primrose bar
As the dream life ends with my lifeguard
Me and my lifeguard, we hide all our scars
As we fall apart, just like Hedy Lamarr
And the rain falls hard, just like movie stars
Well, doo-do-doo
Doo-do-doo
A dream life of movie stars
Hang on me, hang on me, hang on me
Hang on me, hang on me, hang on me
Hang on me, hang for free, just hang on me
Hang on me, hang on me, hang on me
Just like movie stars
Alternate lyrics[1]
[...]A nurse with no soul caresses me
We bloke smoke mouth-to-mouth and watch T.V.
In her VCR, we've got movie stars
Doo-do-doo
She draws a bath and makes primrose tea
And drives away down wet and windy streets
In her mini-car, she's a movie star
Down the boulevard, what a movie star
And she drives...
Doo-do-doo[...]
