Analyze tabloid lies 
You go to war, you need a star 
You're in my soul, you're in my mind 
I walk on water every night 
Movie star, dunno where you are 
Movie star, dunno who you are 
I love your taste, I love your shape 
I love the things about you, all the critics hate 
Fill my soul I once was blind 
You turn my water into wine 
Movie star, dunno where you are 
Movie star dunno who you are 
You don't know what it's like (here) 
You don't know what it's like (here) 
You don't know what it's like (here) 
Movie star 
Movie star 
Movie star 
Movie star 
Get me high, you blow my mind 
You make my mundane life all worth while 
You give me reason, give me rhyme 
Do anything for you just, give me a sign 
Movie star, dunno where you are 
Movie star, dunno who you are 
Movie star, dunno where you are 
Movie star, dunno who you are
