That’s What You Do

My baby is blue
And I can feel her pain
She got rejected once again
But I will pull her through
‘Cause that’s what you do

Her folks always say:
“It’s a cruel, cruel world
And you’re not getting any younger, girl”
They haven’t got a clue
That that’s what you do

Every time I drive her to another bleak audition
We’re two freaks on a mission
And her eyes turn bright
I don’t mind
We’re making up her story
And I’m bound for her glory too

Don’t wake her up
Don’t talk her down
Why would be that guy
That pops balloons before her eyes
‘Cause if you tell her lies
Like ‘dreams don’t come true’
That’s what you do

Every time I drive her to another bleak audition
We’re two freaks on a mission
And her eyes turn bright
I don’t mind
We’re making up her story
And I’m bound for her glory too

No matter how easy the fall
No matter how high up the wire
She’s walking the high wire today

No matter how joyless the crowd
No matter how afraid we both are
She walking the high wire today
