Rhett Miller - This Is What I Do lyrics

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 wire I'm gonna sing this song forever about a girl that I once knew And how she is always leaving this is what I do This is what I do for a living this is what I do In another life I was a holy roller in another lifetime I flew I have always kept a distance this is what I do This is what I do for a living this is what I do This is what I do this is what I do Every one of us has a secret rhythm beating like a drum All of us have a albatross and this is my one This is what I do for a living this is what I do I could hide it in the attic I could bury it in static I could only put it out in Japan I could tape my mouth closed I could take another dose I am dancing as fast as I can This is what I do for a living this is what I do This is what I do this is what I do
