Lyrics
Oh how I tried
to make the most of acting
but the most I could find
was an infomercial part
for a toaster with lights
I played the 13th extra
as I watched late at night
epiphanies did start
since 1954
there's been a high demand
for nurses and doctors
in movies and tv
so to keep my job secure
I had a master plan
I’d do ten thousand hours of method practice
just so I could be
a doctor
an actor playing a doctor
waiting for the offer of
the role to change my life
a doctor
an actor playing a doctor
but I’m not yet a great actor and
the staff is getting wise
darling you know
I had the best intentions
but I could not control
the way our hearts collide
so I’m letting you know
cause I can't face consequences
if my lies are exposed
and your accessorized
and one day you’ll understand
I had no other choice
you’ll turn on your tv and
you’ll recognize a voice
behind a podium
shouting to a nurse
a nurse that he once loved so long ago
Is an actor
an actor who was a doctor
your long lost former lover
holding in his hand
an oscar
for the indie hit of the winter
where he plays a love sick doctor
a performance he commands
And so tonight I break it off
But instead of crying instantly you start to laugh
and you admit
you're not a nurse
You are a writer researcher
investigating hospitals
And I wonder when my life is over
If I’ll look back and discover
My best days were the times
I spent as a doctor
