Brand New Kind Of Actress

You said you heard of me so why are you so afraid?

Some minor changes made, you'll miss the big parade

Another filthy day, another Hollywood sign

You missed the caution line and you just walked right in

You walked right in

There's a body there, somebody you once knew

He took a liking to your conversation cues

The way you cut your hair, the time you did it yourself

You're lack of hired help, the way you fit right in

The way you fit right in

'Cause you're a brand-new kind of actress

You're a brand-new kind of actress

You're the same old stubborn waitress, baby

You're a brand-new kind of actress

You swim the other way, you put your seed upstream

So many hopes and dreams, so many in-betweens

Your new reality, just make yourself at home

He's always watching me, he's never been alone

So you just walked right in

'Cause you're a brand-new kind of actress

You're a brand-new kind of actress

You're the same old stubborn waitress, baby

You're a brand-new kind of actress

You little greasy guy, I don't care what you did

In 1965 before the wife and kid

I'll leave my jacket on, so sorry, I can't stay

Just put the piece away

Just put the piece away and let me call a cab

We'll go our separate ways, we'll go our separate ways

Just put the piece away, I don't care what you did

Back in younger days, just put the piece away, get it away

'Cause I'm a brand-new kind of actress

I'm a brand-new kind of actress

I'm the same old stubborn waitress, baby

I'm a brand-new kind of actress
