Hey! Director! Lyrics

Hey Director! Is this my scene?

I haven't got my lines down

Just like I'm in a bad dream

30 Years in make-up

But I still look like me

I wonder if this film will be

What it was meant to be

Director! Is this my mark?

What's my motivation?

I'm in the dark

You'll find me in the rushes

Looking completely lost

Moses or the moneymen

Who knows who calls the shots but...

Are you ready for my close-up?

I could do it with my eyes shut

I live when you say 'action'

I die when you say 'cut'

Hey Director! Mr. de Mille

If it's the death of you

Who'll execute your will?

Leave me the casting couch

I played my best part upon

You get the thing you want

And then that thing is gone

Are you ready for my close-up?

I could do it with my eyes shut

I live when you say 'action'

I die when you say 'cut'

Director! Let credits roll

Now this fiasco's over

We're all in the hole

I can't believe you talked me into this

So easily!

I'm going back to music

That makes more sense to me
