lyrics

I was waiting tables on the east side
He came in, kinda hard not to recognize
I played it cool until closing time
Hey there, what you doin’ tonight?

‘Cause there was a frisson, a charisma
He was an actor, there was an aura of fame about him
You could feel it from across the room
The way he used his eyes and moved his hands
His whole body, it was transmitting
Whatever he was feeling he could make you feel it to

Later on over drinks at a bar
I said I must confess I know exactly who you are
I love all your work, but your roles are so dark
He said – I got a secret for playing that part

‘Cause there was a frisson, a charisma
He was an actor; there was an aura of fame about him
You could feel it from across the room
The way he used his eyes and moved his hands
His whole body, it was transmitting
Whatever he was feeling he could make you feel it to

In no time at all he had me tied up and screaming
If you know what I mean
When it was said and done he said he’d had fun
And he’d call me
But I never saw him again
Except on TV

‘Cause there was a frisson, a charisma
He was an actor; there was an aura of fame about him
You could feel it from across the room
The way he used his eyes and moved his hands
His whole body, it was transmitting
Whatever he was feeling he could make you feel it to
