All in the Way (They Use My Face)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] See the magic on my walls From the movies and amusement halls I've got an Edward G, and a Monroe still Dreamin' is cheap and I've had my fill [Verse 2] Come the day when the time is right Usin' feelings born of sound and sight I'm an actor, but I've got no part Don't need no lines 'cause they're right here in my heart [Chorus] And it's all in the way that they use my face Findin' a friend who can take my place It's all in the way that they use my face And I see myself, on the shelf, someday [Verse 3] Been a while, still no role to play City streets and lonely bars that crowd my day Thoughts of fantasy and love supreme Ridin' on a charger with a movie queen [Verse 4] Phone my lady, but there's no one there Dressin' up and sittin' round and goin' nowhere Lost it to a writer of some TV shows 'Cause she's hopin she will meet the people that he knows [Chorus] 'Cause it's all in the way that they use my face Findin' a friend who can take my place It's all in the way that they use my face And I see myself, on the shelf, someday [Bridge] When I'm home alone Man calls me on the phone Says I'm gonna make it soon Just as soon as there's room Don't call us, we'll call you [Verse 5] Cross the street and buy a magazine Read about the riots and the scenes there've been Launchin' a new picture, filled with blood and lust A proven formula we all can trust [Verse 6] Wonder why no one knows my name Dress me, and direct me, and I'd look just the same As the man that swims the river, who alone can win the war There's a million of us hopin', that you'll open one small door [Chorus] And it's all in the way that they use my face Findin' a friend who can take my place It's all in the way that they use my face And I see myself, on the shelf [Chorus] And it's all in the way that they use my face Findin' a friend who can take my place All in the way that they use my face And I see myself, on the shelf [Outro] And it's all in the way that they use my face All in the way that they use my face (it's all in the way) All in the way that they use my face (ooo all in the way) All in the way that they use my face (all in the way) All in the way that they use my face
