Smile

Wake up, put your shoes on
Take a breath of the northern air
And rub those eyes
Genuflect beneath the starry skies

Before you climb the mountain
First the foothills must appear
Step high and light
And take up your staff and shining armor

(chin up, chin up)
You don't really have a problem
(chin up, chin up)
In your hour of despair

And smile when you're down and out
(find something inside you)
Smile when you're down and out
(find something inside you)
Smile

The stars on the horizon
Stretch as far as the eyes can see
They represent the souls of those like you and me

And smile when you're down and out
(find something inside you)
Smile when you're down and out
(find something inside you)
Smile

(chin up, chin up)
You don't really have a problem
(chin up, chin up)
In your hour of despair

And smile when you're down and out
(find something inside you)
Smile when you're down and out
(find something inside you)......

Scarface you were out of place in ohio
Too bad you were out ahead and you're slowin'
You were feeling like a bomb without a target
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba

Look out joe i think the sky is falling
Seems that all the clouds have turned to stone
I'm calling you from somewhere deep in ohio
Bba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba

Skintight, you were up all night and it's showin'
So tough you were breakin' up over the wire
Well, i saw you heading up the muddy river
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba

Look out joe i think the sky is falling
Seems that all the clouds have turned to stone
I see the flashing lights along the highway
You sounded lost and desperate on the phone

Look out joe i think the sky is falling
Seems that all the clouds have turned to stone
I'm calling you from somewhere deep in ohio
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba

The world never ends
It's only the beginning
And we can't pretend
To discover it's meaning

We talked for hours at a time
Then i came to my senses
You're more than a friend
You're my perfect lover

I'll never be all you want me to
But that's all right

I'm gonna make you love me
I'm gonna dry your tears
And we're gonna stay together
For a million years

It's the least i can do
Just to make you my baby
No words could describe
Oh, pinch me i'm dreaming

Your hair's long and black
As it lays 'cross my pillow
When i stare in your eyes
I get lost in your glory

I'll never be all you want me to
But that's all right

I'm gonna make you love me
I'm gonna dry your tears
And we're gonna stay together
For a million years

When you were a little girl
Your great big world came tumbling down
So sad

Yeah, the river it bends
But it flows to the ocean
And baby here i am
I'm your sea of devotion

I'll never be all you want me to
But that's all right

I'm gonna make you love me
I'm gonna dry your tears
And we're gonna stay together
For a million years....

I just want to remember you
The way you're standing there
With that hurry home looks in your eyes
And flowers on the table

Sometimes i see too much
Sometimes i see too little
Sometimes shadows fall, darken all
And cover up the fable

Every time that i see your face
It's like cool, cool water running down my back
Cool, cool water running down my back

Sometimes i see my memories
Like a film that never stops
Although i know how it ends
Still i can't help but watch

There's a break in the clouds
As i feel myself shiver
Still there's no light coming through
No reflection on the river

Every time that i see your face
It's like cool, cool water running down my back
Cool, cool water running down my back

Every time that i see your face
It's like cool, cool water running down my back
Cool, cool water running down my back......

Taking pictures of the boys
Passed out in your bed
True collector till the end

You burned your bridges well
With games of kiss and tell
Left me twisting in the wind

You occupy your days
Walking through a maze
Convincing everyone you've got a lot to say

You're such a pretty thing ...
I taught you everything you know

When you first came to town
Buying drinks until you drowned
So many wasted nights

The blood lay an your hands
Trying to make amends
But you're spilling on your dress

The gypsy's on the move
But the caravan remains
New backdrop but same old play

You're such a pretty thing...
I taught you everything you know

Gonna build a fire
Lead the choir in my song
As i climb the walls
Walk the halls to be strong

Once, it was around my schoolboy days
New lines were drawn and rules were made

I wear the scars
Smell the blood on the breeze
I weathered the storm
For a glimpse of the trees

When, when it seemed no matter what you gave
I took my secret to my grave

Broken harpoon ...

I could drown
In the sound of my dreams
Shiver and moan
Feel the need to be free

Once, it was around my schoolboy days
New lines were drawn and rules were made

Broken harpoon ...

When you had a brief encounter with your fortune and your fame
Well, i stood beside and watched the fans that followed
I saw you from a distance
And i heard them call your name
But you winked at me as if to say, i'm sorry
Yeah, you winked at me as if to say, i'm sorry

In my wildest dreams, in my wildest dreams

The more i get to know you, the less that i admire
I fade as the unholy light surrounds you
Well, i'm mystified you got so high
You had so far to fall
What you don't own you beg, you steal, you borrow
What you don't own you beg, you steal, you borrow

In my wildest dreams, in my wildest dreams

I never felt this close to you, i never will again
As you gaze at me from on your ivory tower
You're pretending to be happy
You're pretending to be free
As you watch the minutes slowly turn to hours
As you watch the minutes slowly turn to hours

In my wildest dreams ...
