Performance

(album: Hook, Line & Sinker - 2004)

Your performance is almost over
When you're through I will take you home
To a place where the water's always fresh and cool
I will lay you down, take off your shoes

[?] is about to take your place
There's that sad [?] up on your face
'Cause you know you've done your best
Now, honey, leave the rest to me and I'll take care of you

As I watch you fall down to your knees
They don't know that you're praying to please
They don't see the little angel that you've backed with a star
The only one who knows exactly what you are

You're the thing that makes music they don't understand
And they cheer as you carry out your endless plan
You are weary but you must, it's the only thing you trust
As you live, you got to give

Your performance is almost over
When you're through I will take you home
[?]
So honey, I'll take care of you
