The Actor

The actor's signing autographs
His shaky hands can barely make a line
The punters taking photographs
Can't read his scribbled note: "I'm running out of time"
The reception line is thinning out
The actor racks his brain for secrets to confide
If he can keep them talking along enough
They might see the gun that's pressed against his side
They're marching him outside
And to a waiting ride
There's nothing left to say
As the limo pulls away
Somebody has to pay

The Trap

The look you saw on faces was vanity
Your youth projected
You failed to apprehend the disparity
It's not what you expected
The laurels laid at your feet
A trap to ensnare you
Already missed the last opportunity
It's best you're prepared for . . .

40 days adrift at sea
Your business gone to seed
One last chance to succeed
One fateful lottery
Wait by the telephone
Don't step outside your home
You won't know . . . You won't know . . .
You'll want to be alone
It ain't easy
It ain't easy
It ain't easy
It ain't that hard to wait and . . .
Your stake is bought and sold
Joints stiff and feeling old
In the office, you were told
And in the parking lot, you got rolled
Life is so easy when your record's hot
But now they've got you on the spot
You won't know . . . You won't know . . .
You won't get another shot
It ain't easy
It ain't easy
It ain't easy
It ain't that hard to wait and see
Sit by the phone and wait for me
Sit by the phone and wait for me
Sit by the phone and wait for me
Sit by the phone and wait for me
