Daniel Day Lewis

I feel like an actor

I'm Daniel Day Lewis

In the Last of the Mohicans

My Left Foot, yeah My Left Foot

I feel like a painter

Just like Edward Hopper

Or Pablo Picasso

Just a man with a blue guitar

I'm playing pretend

And can't skip to the end

To see what happened to me

I don't know what it's like

To put those things aside

And be simple old me

Simple old me

I'm feeling kinda seasick

I've been sailing across your ocean

Trying to ride the waves

Of this whole damn life I've made up

I'm walking through the boneyard

Of all my alter egos

Of all the people that I wanted to be

Or that I thought I was

I'm playing pretend

And can't skip to the end

To see what happened to me

I don't know what it's like

To put those things aside

And be simple old me

Simple old me

I'm playing pretend

And can't skip to the end

To see what happens to me

I don't know what it's like

To put those things aside

And be simple old me

Simple old me

I feel like an actor

I'm Daniel Day Lewis

In the Last of the Mohicans

My Left Foot, yeah My Left Foot

I feel like a painter

Just like Edward Hopper

Or Pablo Picasso

Just a man with a blue guitar

I'm playing pretend

And can't skip to the end

To see what happens to me

I don't know what it's like

To put those things aside

And be simple old me

Simple old me

I feel like an actor

I'm Daniel Day Lewis

In the Last of the Mohicans

My Left Foot, yeah My Left Foot
