lyrics

This time of year I get to think about Love
The glass of a dome car, and the sight of white doves
Paris Number, no sign of retreat
Eager to drive up, no hesitating

Academy Award, you rose to the top
Hide away pain for the Best Actor nod
Academy Award, don’t settle for less
Access the feeling, just hide the rest

Just think about those summer days when you ran on the lawn
Toy jeep and the painting and green chair you’ve been hiding away from
Now I’m here on the edge of your couch
Closer and Doc Ock and your weird brother, will Alexa now find out?

Academy Award, you rose to the top
Hide away pain for the Best Actor nod
Academy Award, don’t settle for less
Access the feeling, just hide the rest

And if that gold shine on the statue blinds the cast…
A mix up in the details to the press…
Using all the confidence you possess…
The Academy Award went to your head….

Academy Award, you rose to the top
Hide away pain for the Best Actor nod
Academy Award, don’t settle for less
Access the feeling, just hide the rest
