The Actor

Love Is Only Feeling专辑

  • Leitch
    The actor, the actor, the actor.
    I lived a life and cast myself a role
    I played a part of my own devising
    I played it well, too well for healthy soul
    Believing in my fantasizing.
    When all around me cheered and chanted
    I took the accolade
    I sold the lonely loser's wisdom
    Of clay and wattle made
    Of clay and wattle made.
    The actor, the actor, the actor.
    My character he loved the crowded nights
    The easy pleasures of the rise to fame
    The hardest acting still was yet to come
    As high he rise, as far he fall again.
    When all around me cheered and chanted
    I played the masquerade
    The teeny girls, they screamed and panted
    Too many bows he made
    Too many bows he made.
    The actor, the actor, the actor.
    After a while the show came off the road
    Settling down for the very first time
    Man in the mirror with his make-up off
    Gone from his lip, the sad magical rhyme.
    No more around him cheered and chanted
    He shun the big parade
    Now he sounding weird and slanted
    A slave of his trade
    A slave of his trade.
    The actor, the actor, the actor.
    Phoenix he rises from the cleansing flame
    Shedding the skin of past pretending
    Fully awakened, he cast off his frown
    Happily naked, uncontending.
    And all around him cheering, chanting
    A wiser fool is he
    The teeny kids in new wave ranting
    Slum heroes to be.
    And all around him cheering, chanting
    A wiser fool is he
    The teeny kids in new wave ranting
    Slum heroes to be
    Slum heroes to be.
    The actor, the actor, the actor.
