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
