VERSE 1
A man leaves home
He goes to the store
Says hello to the clerk
Outside it starts to pour
When the man returns
his wife’s face has changed
his children renamed
the pictures rearranged
She says
That’s just your mind baby
That's just your mind playing tricks on you
Give it time baby
Give it time maybe I’ll come through
VERSE 2
The man collapses
She grabs him by the shirt
Punches him with a kiss
He comes back to her
They go outside to
see the super moon
But it's just a lead balloon
Rushing out of view
She says
That’s just your mind baby
That's just your mind playing tricks on you
Give it time baby
Give it time maybe I’ll come through
VERSE 3
Frantically wondering
is he playing a role
the man makes overtures
She stares straight at her phone
It all goes through her
Yes, even the breeze
He doubts his life of ease
Here comes Socrates
VERSE 4
The man talks softly
In the waitress' ear
He kindly asks for some rum
She says there ain't none here
The waitress returns
With the alcohol
There's rum after all
Was some kind of miracle
She says
That’s just your mind baby
That's just your mind playing tricks on you
Give it time baby
Give it time maybe we’ll come through

VERSE 1
Baby bottoms in the night peaks
Wants her bottle drink it for weeks
I nurse her back to health
She can't do it by herself
She swears she doesn’t know
Fiddling with my pocket money
Whispering in the hall with honey
How much can a dollar buy
How about a lullaby
Baby sing it to me slow
Don't approach her with the facts
Baby wasn’t built for that
VERSE 2
Baby feeding on attention
Later flees the intervention
She's so very innocent
Does it all with no regrets
This show is getting old
Don’t approach her with the facts
Baby wasn’t built for that
Pour your heart out she just laughs
Baby wasn’t built for that
VERSE 3
Sent out my daily mission
Stop short troubled by a vision
Come back to find her on the stairs
I'm the only one who cares
Baby, baby please don't go
Don't approach her with the facts
Baby wasn’t built for that
Pour your heart out she just laughs
Baby wasn’t built for that
She don’t save the best for last
Baby wasn’t built for that
