...And, my friend, why, ha, they began to call, ha, upon their god, ha, from morning 'til noon, ha. Ah Lord! Ha. Still, ha, he did not answer...

Are you planning your escape?
Are you crumbling for the evening when I'm asleep and you're awake?
I swear to God, I'll take it to the grave
Are you planning your escape?

She’s a wonderful actress
She’s a wonderful actress (Oh, isn't she, isn't she, isn't she?)
She’s a wonderful actress
She’s a wonderful actress

Who'll be counting your mistakes?
Who'll be holding back your pig-tailed hair
While you're throwing up your birthday cake?
Here's your makeup, shut your face
You'll be easily replaced

It wasn't much to ask for
A breadcrumb and backhand
And it wasn't much we needed
We got a casket in quicksand
But now you're gonna get it
My buttercup, slow down
'Cause your doctors and lawyers
Can't save your ass now
Tired of your suffering, tired of your having pain, tired of your being misunderstood

(Are you planning your escape?)
She's a wonderful actress
(Are you planning your escape?)
She's a wonderful actress
Are you planning your escape?

It wasn't much to ask for
A breadcrumb and backhand
It wasn't much we needed
We got a casket in quicksand
But now you're gonna get it
My buttercup, slow down
'Cause your doctors and lawyers
Can't save your ass now
'Cause your doctors and lawyers
Can't save your ass now

She's a wonderful actress
(Ah, my friend, I'm so glad)
She's a wonderful actress
(Any hour, any day, I can ring up heaven)
She's a wonderful actress
(Ah Lord! My friend, and God'll hear my cry)
She's a wonderful actress (Isn't she, isn't she, isn't she?)
(Didn't He hear you cry, when you [?] and pity every groan. Amen.)
