Rita Hayworth Lyrics

We’re all actors
I play you, you play me
in this scene of
wannabes and abusers

‘Cause when the black hits
there’s no available light left
You can’t offset the dark with illusions

You do rails of blow at the House Soho
and say “man, this place is so full of losers”

And when you wait at the valet
try to escape
you get a come on from
some nothin’ producer

And he says
And he says
And he says

You look like Rita Hayworth
From the pinup in a magazine
I said you look like Rita Hayworth

I know you know what he means

You’re swimmin’ with Jaws
and this dream town will
swallow you whole

You’re gonna need a bigger boat

You’re swimmin’ with Jaws
and this dream town will
swallow you whole

You’re gonna need a bigger boat

You found a star map
lyin’ dead in the street
You tried to glue it
but the holes were colossal

It’s all a rat trap
full of beautiful thieves
selling infamy
with evil apostles

You know it’s time
to leave this place
Sugar, this ain’t Oscar bait

You look like Rita Hayworth
From the pinup in a magazine
I said you look like Rita Hayworth

I know you know what he means

You’re swimmin’ with Jaws
and this dream town will
swallow you whole

You’re gonna need a bigger boat

You’re swimmin’ with Jaws
and this dream town will
swallow you whole

You’re gonna need a bigger boat
