The Actress

The picture unwinds
 In starward designs
 I need only find
 My angel inside
 The others, they bait
 Too little, too late
 I'm taking this cake
 And all along the wall we wait
 But long ago I swore I'd be here
 Playing for the chosen people
 One fateful day my door would open
 Dreams alone can part the o-
 The producer, he took me in
 He said, "Let's see that guinea skin"
 I said, "I can do the jitterbug"
 "I am just a little hungover today"
 "I can do this"
 "I'm an actress"
 So chain me like a little bird
 Teach me every dirty word
 Hot off the street
 I can do this
 I'm an actress
 I know I belong here
 I swear I belong here
 Where'd I go wrong, dear?
 I swear I belong
 Forever, I don't know
 Forever, I don't know
 I'm taking it slow
 And on and on and on I go
 But long ago I swore I'd be
 Destroyer of anxiety and mirrors
 But words are only sound pollution
 Time's the only thing that moves
 The producer, he took me in
 He said, "Let's see that guinea skin"
 I said, "I can do the jitterbug"
 "I am just a little hungover today"
 "I can do this"
 "I'm an actress"
 So chain me like a little bird
 Teach me every dirty word
 Hot off the street
 I can do this
 I'm an actress
 I'm on the radio
 And don't you even for a moment
 Touch that dial
 Don't touch that dial
 Well, I'm on the radio
 And don't you even for a moment
 Touch that dial
 Don't touch dial
 Well, I'm on the radio
 And don't you even for a moment
 Touch that dial
 And I can do the jitterbug
 I am just a little hungover today
 I can do this
 I'm an actress, yeah, oo
 Chain me like a little bird
 Teach me every dirty word
 Hot off the street
 I can do this
 I'm an actress, yeah
