This is what I do, this is what I do
Jennifer 1 was a racehorse-rider
Heidi was a house on fire
Bernadette kept a distance
We got tangled up in telephone wireI'm gonna sing this song forever
About a girl that I once knew
And how she is always leaving
This is what I doThis is what I do
For a living this is what I doIn another life I was a holy roller
In another lifetime I flew
I have always kept a distance
This is what I doThis is what I do
For a living this is what I do
This is what I do, this is what I doEvery one of us has a secret rhythm
Beating like a drum
All of us have a albatross
And this is my oneThis is what I do
For a living this is what I doI could hide it in the attic
I could bury it in static
I could only put it out in JapanI could tape my mouth closed
I could take another dose
I am dancing as fast as I canThis is what I do
For a living this is what I do
This is what I do, this is what I do
