Lyrics:
[Verse 1] The actor sits in a windowless room Applying his makeup, remembering his friends They're all dead now, or married with children It's the very same thing where the actor is concerned [Verse 2] He loves his life but it's such an awful lot With faking his feelings and fumblin' around Ties the laces on his favorite shoe At least that's what he feels like his character would do [Chorus 1] It's not his life For the next two hours Yeah he is ours Beneath the lights [Verse 3] The actor tries not to drink until after the work is all over but sometimes he must Silence the chorus of voices and noise of orders and order his mind to shut up [Verse 4] He loves his job, but it's the kind of a job Where you sit and you sit and you sit and you sit So he shows the butler his favorite shirt 'Cause that's what he feels like his character would do [Chorus 1] It's not his life For the next two hours Yeah he is ours Beneath the lights [Chorus 2] Oh and when it’s over The man will go out And drink to black out Every night [Verse 5] The actor sits in a windowless room Applyin' his makeup, rememberin' his friends They're all dead now, or married with kids It’s the very same thing [Chorus 2] Oh and when it’s over The man will go out And drink to black out Every night [Chorus 2] Oh and when it’s over The man will go out And drink to black out Every night
