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
|
|
