Lyric

Hello, nice to meet you, nerves and hope collide

We clink our glasses, keeping pace with the night

But beer isn’t really my thing, you see

Next round’s a shandy, sweet and easy on me

Ah, so smooth and light

‘Cause beer is bitter, it just isn’t right

With ginger ale

The beer softens, mellow and pale

I want to meet the sharp version of you

The one I know, the usual you

Rise up! Rise up! My girl power!

Stretch the last bit of my feminine fire!

Flush! Flush! My blushing cheeks

Hold your breath, bring blood to my face!

“Oh, really?”—pretending to be amused

Everyone’s judging, sizing up the room

Face, career, hobbies, everything’s a test

Maybe I’ll try a Bulldog next

Salty’s too harsh, it ruins my finesse

Snow style sips, so tiny, so small

Salt interferes with my acting after all

Rise up! Rise up! Fake excitement

Pump my blood alcohol, keep it silent

Spin! Spin! Alcohol in motion

Don’t let them see that I’m sober

I’m an actress…

Everyone’s playing a part, behind the glass

Oh, you too, and you too

So we’re all actresses at last

Up! Up! Mysterious tension

Drop the farce, let’s hit the next place

Hurry! Hurry! Sober actresses in line

The night is ours, another stage to shine

Raise the curtain, act your part

Laugh, sip, and play the night away

I’m an actress… yes, I’m an actress tonight
