Paper Smile

What's in a life, if you don't live it, baby?

Its just getting on by

With a promise, what if, maybe?

Hanging around waiting for something to fall

But once in a while the paper smile must come away

What's in a life if you don't live it, baby?



What's in a kiss, if you can't feel it, baby?

The lips may be sweet

But are they sweet enough to taint it?

Wasting your time hanging out of windows panting

Oh, once in a while the paper smile must come and go

Where it blows, who knows

Where it goes, it goes

I'm glad to see it go

I'm glad to see it go



What's in a dream, if you can't be it, baby?



Rip away your painted smile

Rip away your painted smile

Wipe away your painted smile

Wipe away your painted smile

Rip away your painted smile

Wipe away your painted smile
