Release The Stars Lyrics
Rufus Wainwright
Why Do You Keep All Your Stars In From Your Studio On Melrose Avenue?
You've Lost All Your Assets ?? In Life-long 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 Am Speaking In Metaphors For Something More In Your Heart
Didn't You Know That Old Hollywood Is Over?
So Why Not 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 No ??
Didn't You Know That Old Hollywood Is Over?
Old Hollywood Is Over
So Why Not 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, 'cause Hollywood Is Over
Why Do You Keep All Your Stars In From Your Studio On Melrose Avenue?
