Millenium Actress ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead (Ft. Amanda Palmer)

Scenes from the life of our Millennium Actress
Photos framed up on the walls
People will stop her to ask for an autograph
Faces look up as she stares through the window
Wondering which way the rain will fall
Would you rather be someone that no one
Knows and no one cares about?
No, no one cares about

Cuts ever soft
The frames of the reel
Can't save your face from
The shame you must feel
And even though you're our Millennium Actress
All that you've acted in
All that you love still belongs
To someone else but not you
To someone else but not you

The beasts that you ran from when you took to the country
Has found a new reason to hunt you down
The walls of your home won't protect you from being caught now
Don't let our demons divide us alone
The flowers have wilted, the tea has soured
You were always the one in the poster that I
Loved and I adored
That I loved and I adored
