The Actress

We recognize
She's from in the movies
A moving picture
Forget your real life
And disappear

The regular showing
Has just begun
Please tend
To your seating
With everyone
We see the actress
Defy the dangerous
Our stomach in knots
The edge of our seats
As we watch

The regular showing
Has just begun
Please tend
To your seating
As everyone
Is slowly quieting

When it's all over
We will talk
And return to our cars
Just for one night
You are my only
Just for one night
I won't be lonely
You are my life
Your star burns bright
