The Bad Actress - Josh Ritter

Shes a bad actress- but hey

You give her the big lines anyway

Though her eyes are big as Canada

And the hips are South Australia

And the shoulder blade is Africa

Looking out on South America

Im out here on the sea

And her heart aint where it oughta be

Shes a bad actress- but hey

Shes got a big part in your play

Now my apartment lies awake at night

It tosses every time she sighs

Tries to take it easy on her eyes

But I can feel it giving up the fight

My whole buildings on its last floors

Her hearts not in it anymore

She said she gave her heart to you

If it was precious whyd you lose it

But if it was golden itd shine

If its big it wont be hard to find

If its real it stains your hands like wine

You can look but there is no use trying

Cause no matter what she said the truth

Is that she never gave her heart to you

Shes a bad actress
