The Actor
5
I lived a life and cast myself a role
6
I played a part of my own devising
7
I played it well, too well for healthy soul
8
Believing in my fantasizing
9
When all around me cheered and chanted
10
I took the accolade
11
I sold the lonely loser's wisdom
12
Of clay and wattle made
13
Of clay and wattle made.

My character he loved the crowded nights
16
The easy pleasures of the rise to fame
17
The hardest acting still was yet to come
18
As high he rise, as far he fall again.
19
When all around me cheered and chanted
20
I played the masquerade
21
The teeny girls they screamed and panted
22
Too many bows he made
23
Too many bows he made.

After a while the show came off the road
26
Settling down for the very first time
27
Man in the mirror with his make-up off
28
Gone from his lip the sad magical rhyme
29
No more around him cheered and chanted
30
He shun the big parade
31
Now he sounding weird and slanted
32
A slave of his trade
33
A slave of his trade.

Phoenix he rises from the cleansing flame
36
Shedding the skin of past pretending
37
Fully awakened he cast off his frown
38
Happily naked uncontending
39
And all around him cheering, chanting
40
A wiser fool is he
41
The teeny kids in new wave ranting
42
Slum heroes to be
43
Slum heroes to be.
