Jamais

I told you before that this is the end
 You'll never work in this town again, Jamais
 ♪
 You think you know me, that's your trouble
 Never fall in love with a body double, Jamais
 ♪
 I stick to the script and I go with the plan
 And frankly my dear I never gave a damn, Jamais
 ♪
 Never even scratched the surface
 Though you're picking through my bones
 It's the performance of a lifetime
 It's my only starring role
 Your leading lady needs direction
 Your leading lady sleeps alone
 ♪
 You got the surface and substance confused
 Don't believe what you read in those interviews, Jamais
 ♪
 I can act like I'm dumb, I can act like I'm clever
 You thought that was me, oh well, I never, Jamais
 ♪
 So just what is real and just what is fake
 Well, in life you never get to do a second take, Jamais
 ♪
 Never even scratched the surface
 Though you're picking through my bones
 Though the names and dates are altered
 The story's still my own
 The performance of a lifetime
 My only starring role
 ♪
 In a cast of many thousands, no one's essential to the plot
 Every extra, every superstar must now vacate the lot
 In the performance of a lifetime
 I make the final cut
