Artist/Band: Josh Ritter
Lyrics for Song: The Bad Actress
Lyrics for Album: Hello Starling [2003]



she's 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

I'm out here on the sea

and her heart ain't where it oughta be

she's a bad actress- but hey

she's 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 building's on its last floors

her heart's not in it anymore

she said she gave her heart to you

if it was precious why'd you lose it

but if it was golden it'd shine

if it's big it won't be hard to find

if it's 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

she's a bad actress

bad actress
