Any Old Actress - Rasputina

They saw her break through barriers forty feet high

It was the finest moment in a long life

Young boys would hang her pictures over their bed

They saw her mouth move but they couldn’t hear what 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 for her

Oh yeah

I saw the sailor talking with the cops

I saw the sailor walking with the cops

First comes the nurse, just got back from war

She had a feather in her cap

That’s all she wore

Then comes the mother and she’s got a friend

And they start yelling at you and that’s how it all began

It’s one of those things you should not try at home

What’s meant by intentional falls can never be known

Any old actress worth her salt outta know

The higher you are you want to see what’s below

And old actress worth her salt outta know

The higher you are you want to see what’s below

And old actress worth her salt outta know
