Finest Actor

Disco: Finest Actor [2020]

He was the finest actor of his generation

He sure fooled me

He was the finest actor of his generation

Left all his stand-ins behind in the dust at Penn Station

He sure fooled me

He moved like De Niro and talked like O’toole

Inside I was scared but he made me feel cool

He smelled of tobacco guilt, and red wine

And sooner or later the guilt it was mine

He played to the camera instead of with me

Said “honey don’t pin your hopes on a ship lost at sea”

He could’ve been Burton, Harris or Dean

They could’ve been moments but they were just scenes

He was the finest actor of his generation

In retrospect there’s no doubt that he’s found his vocation

He sure fooled me
