The Actor lyrics

[Verse 1]
The actor lying on the pillow next to me
Through thighs a canyon, and bullets
Below your knees
I know you find it hard to breathe

When flowers bloom at the corner of your street
Dried flat for pleasure, insurance
And hopefully
They get a page inside your book

[Chorus]
What could I say to make this right?
Afternoon f*ck and then a fight
When everybody's listening
My friends are in the kitchen

[Verse 2]
Elastic lover you’re holding me so tight
Just like a saviour
Until it doesn't feel too right
I won't forget the way you cried

A damning flight by virtue of a man
And to say father, I hope you’ve got a plan
I've got another one too
[Chorus]
What could you say to make this right
Afternoon f*ck and then a fight
You knew that I was listening
Your new man in the kitchen

[Outro]
On stage the actor rehearses her new lines
One woman show
“I'll see you at opening night”
And then won't look you in the eye
