Wind-Up Birds - When I Was a Movie Star

When I was a movie star
I prayed to the guests in my house
Who knew at the heart of my invention
There's a fire that just can't douse

When I was a poet
I wrote no verse that was my own
So I cried out sweet surrender
But my pen kept writing on

So look at me
Yeah, eyes on me
And I'll be your movie star
Your vaseline queen
Yeah I'll be your movie star
Your vaseline queen

And now I'm a singer
And no one hears a word I say
I brush them off so gently
Just to fight another day

But when I am alone
I get so high but never make it home
I try my best to bring the stars back down to where you are
I never made it that far

So look at me
Yeah, eyes on me
And I'll be your movie star
Your vaseline queen
Yeah I'll be your movie star
Your vaseline queen
