[Verse 1]
Look at his hand move
Check out the shape of his hips as he goes
Well, he's totally natural
Well, actually he's a white ghost
Performing in a video
He's totally natural
[Refrain]
He's only an actor
[Verse 2]
He's so beautiful to see
But something's lost underneath
Enter the wounded animal
Refuse the medals they bestow
Shake a hand, take a bow
You're totally natural
[Refrain]
You're only an actor
He's on the screen
He's only an actor
[Crescendo]
The chains lie broken one by one
Of the molten sod illusion
Of a broken home
Of a street fight
It's a Friday night alone
It's a bottle that's warming on the shelf
It's feeling just inches away from death
It's a street, it's an icicle
It's a panic attack, it's only an act, yeah
[Crescendo]
The chains lie broken one by one
Of the molten sod illusion
Of a broken home
It's a street fight
It's a Friday night alone
It's a bottle warming on the shelf
It's feeling just inches away from death
It's a street, it's an icicle
It's a panic attack, it's only an act, yeah
[Outro]
It's only an act, yeah
It's only an act, yeah
It's only an act, yeah
It's only an act, yeah
It's only an act, yeah

When I originally wrote this song, thinking about Hollywood actors who moonlight in rock bands, I think I had Keanu Reeves in mind. It wasn’t supposed to be flattering, because I saw them as being in some way wounded victims of their own celebrity. I’m sure that in reality they’re quite happy
