[offset:0]
[00:16.09] I told you before that this is the end
[00:19.43] You'll never work in this town again
[00:23.15] Jamais
[00:24.52]
[00:30.59] You think you know me that's your trouble
[00:34.71] Never fall in love with a body double
[00:38.58] Jamais
[00:39.46]
[00:46.34] I stick to the script and I go with the plan
[00:50.09] And frankly my dear I never gave a damn
[00:53.65] Jamais
[00:54.58]
[01:01.27] Never even scratched the surface
[01:04.46] Though you're picking through my bones
[01:08.52] It's the performance of a lifetime
[01:12.46] It's my only starring role
[01:16.21] Your leading lady needs direction
[01:20.27] Your leading lady sleeps alone
[01:25.65]
[01:39.89] You got the surface and substance confused
[01:43.63] Don't believe what you read in those interviews
[01:47.63] Jamais
[01:48.88]
[01:54.82] I can act like I'm dumb I can act like I'm clever
[01:59.51] You thought that was me oh well I never
[02:03.20] Jamais
[02:03.57]
[02:10.13] So just what is real and just what is fake
[02:14.01] Well in life you never get to do a second take
[02:19.07] Jamais
[02:25.20] Never even scratched the surface
[02:28.57] Though you're picking through my bones
[02:32.89] Though the names and dates are altered
[02:36.39] The story's still my own
[02:40.95] The performance of a lifetime
[02:44.13] My only starring role
[02:54.02]
[03:35.47] In a cast of many thousands
[03:36.72] No one's essential to the plot
[03:40.25] Every extra every superstar
[03:44.18] Must now vacate the lot
[03:47.75] In the performance of a lifetime
[03:52.31] I make the final cut
