Any Old Actress - Lyrics by Rasputina


Lyrics
They saw her break through barriers 40 feethigh.     It was the finest moment in a long life.     Young boys will tack her pictures over theirbed.     They saw her mouth move but couldn't hearwhat she said.     "
You're a souvenir, a darling, dear." She used to say that kind of thing. "
You're a mantlepiece with strong beliefs." Only her black rainbow meant something. Don't cry for her now. Oh yeah. Don't cry forher. I saw the sailor talking with the cops. I saw the sailor walking with the cops. First comes the nurse, that just got backfrom war. She had a feather in her cap. That's all shewore. Then comes the mother and she's got a friend. And they start yelling at you and that's howit all began. It's one of those things you should not tryat home. What's meant by intentional falls can neverbe known. And old actress worth her salt outta know The higher you are you want to see what'sbelow.
