Finest Actor Songtext
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 De Niro 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
