The Actor Lyrics

[00:38.53] Bricked up a kilo
[00:41.74] Paneled down in the back door
[00:44.89] All the while I'm riding
[00:48.29] To auditions I'm not getting
[00:51.07] Why do I keep on returning to you?
[01:01.45]
[01:04.45] All American jawlines
[01:07.61] One moment going over scene lines
[01:11.23] Grind the scripts like teeth
[01:17.05] Why do I keep on returning to you?
[01:25.97] Cocaine, cocaine
[01:33.06]
[01:43.10] Swarm TV cameras
[01:46.49] Click and stumble at the Chateau
[01:49.81] Later, I hear John's
[01:53.20] Body got carried out
[01:56.37] Ice cream was a code word
[01:59.54] Told to me by a code man
[02:02.90] These nice hotels
[02:06.10] Gotta look, not tell
[02:08.73] Why do I keep on returning to you?
[02:16.10] Cocaine, cocaine
[02:19.37] Cocaine, cocaine
[02:21.90] Why do I keep on returning to you?
[02:29.27] Give me some ice cream
[02:32.50] Give it to me now
[02:34.04] Oh, now
[02:35.51] I'm in the deepest end of an empty pool
[02:41.72] (He's never gonna make it)
[02:45.09] (He's never gonna make it in LA)
[02:48.51] I'm in the deepest end of an empty pool
[02:56.72] Cocaine, cocaine
[03:01.51] I'm in the deepest end of an empty pool
[03:07.83] (He's never gonna make it)
[03:10.95] (He's never gonna make it in L.A.)
[03:14.61] I'm in the deepest end of an empty pool
[03:20.63] (He's never gonna make it)
[03:22.52] Cocaine
[03:23.95] (He's never gonna make it)
[03:25.92] Cocaine
[03:27.58]
