Mr. Highway Band - Actress

All the books are paintings whose painters are blind
When you read you see the colors when you think it's always black
And the poems and the songs are the weapons of the young
When you listen they praise win when you think they shed your blood

And you're an actress that's a fact
You're an actress with no act

Well your smile is a flower from the garden of a church
When you smell it lifts your spirit when you think it burns your flesh
And your kiss is a room with a window and a door
When you get in they're wide open when you leave there are no more

And you're an actress that's a fact
You're an actress with no act

And the wine is a bird that will settle in our head
And our head is a gun that will shoot the poor bird dead
And the dead are the photos that will hang upon the wall
And the wall is the movie in the memory of all

And you're an actress that's a fact
You're an actress with no act
