David Byrne - Smile lyrics

Smile when tears are falling from your eyes Smile like windows of the shops at night Here - everything is as it seems All - the tables & the chairs seem real Here - paintings on the walls Somehow make it all so strange So smile - to brighten up the darkest day Your smile - like icing on a birthday cake Lovers - floating in a paradise Blue - lights flicker from a room at night I'm happy just to be just like one of these who smile How we sang How we loved How we were & How we was We're not afraid anymore I'm scared of you I'm scared of me But scary things Will set me free I'm not afraid anymore So smile - when nothing seems to go your way Smiles - to take away our thoughts & cares Blue - like blood returning to my heart Fingers, Hands and every tiny part Every kid in every school Knows all you've got to do is - smile How we sang How we loved How we were & how we was We're not afraid anymore I'm scared of you I'm scared of me But scary things Will set me free I'm not afraid anymore Smile when tears are falling from your eyes
