She's Actual Size (new live version) Lyrics

Words fail
Buildings tumble
The ground opens wide
Light beams down from heaven
She stands before my eyes
She's actual size, but she seems much bigger to me
Squares may look distant in her rear view mirror but they're actual size
Nationwide, believe

Big men
Often tremble
As they step aside
I thought I was big once
She changed my mind

She's actual size, but she seems much bigger to me
I've never known anybody like her, she's actual size
Nationwide, believe

Ladies and gentlemen
Dan Hickey is entirely self-medicated
His radical mood swings over the course of the show are completely determined by the audience response he receives during the next portion of the show
He's wearing ear plugs
He's playing the drums
But he's come all the way from New York City to hear each and every one of you scream
Ladies and gentlemen, he needs to hear you scream
I believe there are a couple of things I need to clarify one more time because I don't know if you caught it the first time
He's wearing ear plugs, ladies and gentlemen
He can barely hear himself
He's playing the drums
But he's come all the way from New York City to hear you people scream

She's
Got
All the money
Money couldn't buy
She's got something special
That some guy left behind

Actual size, but she seems so much bigger to me
I've never known anybody like her
Actual size, nationwide, believe

Her face
Stands in portrait
On the post office wall
And she's stuck in my heart now
Where my blood belongs

Actual size, but she seems so much bigger to me
And squares may look distant in her rear view mirror but they're actual size
Nationwide, believe

Dan, Dan, Dan, John, audience, Dan, Dan, Dan
