The Actress from Suitin' Up by Tino Drima

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



I’m on the radio

And don’t you even for a moment

Touch that dial

Don’t touch dial



I’m on the radio

And don’t you even for a moment

Touch that dial



I can do the jitterbug

I am just a little hungover today

I can do this

I’m an actress



Chain me like a little bird

Teach me every dirty word

Hot off the street

I’m an actress
