St. Vincent: "Actor Out of Work"

St. Vincent

"Actor Out of Work"

[4AD, 2009]

You're a supplement, you're a salve

You're a bandage, pull it off

I can quit you cut it out

You're a patient, iron lung

You're a cast signed broken arm

You're an actor out of work

You're a liar and that's the truth

You're an extra, lost in the scene

You're a boxer in the ring

With brass knuckles underneath

You're the curses through my teeth

You're the laughter, you're the obscene

You're a supplement, you're a salve

You're a bandage, pull it off

I think I love you, I think I'm mad

You're a cast signed broken arm

You're an actor out of work

I think I love you, I think I'm mad

You're a boxer in the ring

With brass knuckles underneath

I think I love you, I think I'm mad
