I told you before that this is the end   You'll never work in this town again, Jamais   You think you know me, that's your trouble   Never fall in love with a body double, Jamais      I stick to the script and I go with the plan   And frankly my dear I never gave a damn, Jamais      Never even scratched the surface   Though you're picking through my bones   It's the performance of a lifetime   It's my only starring role      Your leading lady needs direction   Your leading lady sleeps alone      You got the surface and substance confused   Don't believe what you read in those interviews, Jamais   I can act like I'm dumb, I can act like I'm clever   You thought that was me, oh well, I never, Jamais      So just what is real and just what is fake   Well, in life you never get to do a second take, Jamais      Never even scratched the surface   Though you're picking through my bones   Though the names and dates are altered   The story's still my own      The performance of a lifetime   My only starring role      In a cast of many thousands, no one's essential to the plot   Every extra, every superstar must now vacate the lot   In the performance of a lifetime   I make the final cut
