lyrics

You said you always take the long odds, 'cause that's just how you bet.
I remember you that one day, how could I forget?
You were smoking all the cinnamon, lit by a spark.
You were throwing all your bones to the dogs in the park.
Then I tried a bit, and I could see the breath of the leaves.
Bore the resemblance of a fantasy.

It was nothing like in the movies.
Let me be your actor, be your actor.

We drove from Montreal to Tokyo, it took ten days.
The heat was cool by the pool, it gave a violet haze.
Everything that we wanted to do was in our reach.
Stones were diamonds all the way from Malibu beach.
Then we swam out to a turtle, with no lack of a brain,
drinking poppy seed urban tea, that came with the rain.
Now she's stripping cinnamomum bark and trying to pretend
she only rolls 'em, doesn't smoke them, breaks them open rolls again.
Only rolls 'em, doesn't smoke them, breaks them open rolls again.

It was nothing like in the movies.
Let me be your actor, be your actor.
