Actor Doctor Lyrics by Fishboy

Art Guards

0

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 go
'Cause I can't face consequences
If my lies are exposed
And you're 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 lovesick doctor
A performance he commands

And so tonight I break it off
But instead of crying, oh, you start to laugh

And you admit
You're not a nurse
You are a writer-researcher
Investigating hospitals
(Hey, hey!)

And you admit
(An actor playing a doctor)
You're not a nurse
(Waiting for the offer of)
You are a writer-researcher
(The role to change my life)
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
