Finest Actor lyrics

He was the finest actor of his generation

He sure fooled me

He was the finest actor of his generation

Left all his stand-ins behind in the dust at Penn Station

He sure fooled me

He moved like DeNiro and talked like O'Toole

Inside I was scared, but he made me feel cool

He smelled of tobacco, guilt, and red wine

And sooner or later the guilt, it was mine

He played to the camera instead of with me

Said "Honey, don't pin your hopes on a ship lost at sea"

He could've been Burton, Harris, or Dean

They could've been moments, but they were just scenes
