Lyrics of
A Painted Smile

Can't you see I'm in decay?
Like a pitchfork in the rain.
Rusted red my metal stained,
I'm cracking up like peeling paint.
Hold me close to your to your to your heart
Verse
Can't you see I'm in denial?
Like a clown that paints his smile.
This head's a junkyard gone to pot,
Just a milk-tooth left to rot.
Hold me close to your to your to your heart
Verse
Can't you see my memory fade?
Like a washboard scrubbing stains.
My tongue has twisted in to knots,
My words are stories with no plots.
Hold me close to your to your to your heart
Verse
Can't you see me fall apart?
Like a burning house of cards!
Clubs and diamonds in array,
The spades are digging their own graves.
Hold me close to your to your to your heart
