Lyrics
Movie star

You feel like Steve McQueen
When you're driving in your car
And you think you look like James Bond
When you're smoking your cigar
It's so bizarre
You think you are a new kind of James Dean
But the only thing I've ever seen of you
Was a commercial spot on the screen

Moviestar, oh Moviestar, ah ah ah,you think you are a Movie
Moviestar, oh Moviestar, ah ah ah,you think you are a Movie-
Star ah ah ah

You should belong to the jet set
Fly your own private learjet
But you worked in a grocery store
Every day you could afford to get away
So you went to Sweden to meet Ingemar Bergman
But he wasn't there or he just didn't care
I think it's time for you my friend
To stop pretending that you are a

Moviestar, oh Moviestar, ah ah ah, you think you are a Movie
Moviestar, oh Moviestar, ah ah ah, you think you are a Movie-
Star ah ah ah

Frozen hero
Your words are zero
Your dreams have vanished into dark long ago
But you're the one to know

Moviestar, oh Moviestar, ah ah ah, you think you are a Movie
Moviestar, oh Moviestar, ah ah ah, you think you are a Movie
Moviestar, oh Moviestar, ah ah ah, you think you are a Movie-
Star ah ah ah
Moviestar, oh Moviestar, ah ah ah
Moviestar, oh Moviestar, ah ah ah
Moviestar, oh Moviestar, ah ah ah
