Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Actor but never for stage or screen
In a cauldron of crime
Did she want him
Or want to be him
And did she smoke a cigarette
In the dark
[Verse 2]
Actor but never for stage or screen
Acting like you've never seen
[Verse 3]
Every cell of her's more alive
And bright than mine
Did she want me
Or want to be me
And did she smoke a cigarette
In the dark
[Verse 4]
Actor but never for stage or screen
Acting like you've never seen
[Verse 5]
La la, la-la-la-la, la la
La-la-la, la-la-la
La la la, la la la
La la, la-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la
[Verse 6]
Actor but never for stage or screen
Acting like you've never seen
[Verse 7]
Actor but never for stage or screen
Acting like you've never seen
