Spectres |
| Projectionists and publicists, athletes and comedians |
| Photographers and columnists, subscribers and enthusiasts |
| Participants and spectators, the ragers and the clever kids |
| We’re all actors and actresses |
| I want to thank you all for having me |
| A special thanks to the academy |
| For birthing me and blessing me |
| With this fantastic opportunity |
| To let the light shine down on me |
| Now let us grieve for dead celebrities |
| We know them all from all the magazines |
| We photograph the carcasses, we hang them up on canvasses |
| We’re all actors and actresses |
| Maybe our anxiety |
| Lives in the spaces in between |
| Who we really are |
| And what we want to be |
| And the things that we let other people see |
| When all we really want |
| Is to be in magazines |
| Found dead on dirty mattresses, bleeding through the bandages |
| Cops are surveying the damages and sending out for sandwiches |
| They photographed the carcasses and hang them up on canvasses |
| We’re all actors and actresses |
| I guess we all got pretty close |
| I guess we all got pretty close |
| I guess we all got pretty close to the roles we chose to play |
| I guess we all got pretty close, i swear i saw him right by 7a |
| We see our friends six pages and right behind the president |
| (we're actors and we’re actresses) |
| The office girls are awful with their take on what went wrong with him |
| (we're actors and we’re actresses) |
| They’re covering the carcass, they’re bleeding and remembering |
| (we're actors and we’re actresses) |
| We’re all actors and actresses, we’re all actors and actresses |
| (we're actors and we’re actresses) |
