5. SMILE ON MY FACE

Well I…started writin' 'bout and hour ago
When the walls started melting away
And the whole wide world turned upside down like before.
How did it get this way?

Then the rains came down, a Technicolor affair
Drenching everything that got in the way.
And I stumbled 'round the room, couldn't find any door.
I think I lost a day.

Have to…ACT TOUGH every once in a while
Just to try to get anything done.
It's a complicated state, which you try to ignore,
'Cause you might still wind up on the floor.

But I still…have this smile…ON MY FACE!!!
But I still…have this smile…ON MY FACE!!!


So I…REACHED OUT! Tried to steady my gait,
But I couldn't keep the demons at bay.
They were picking at the pieces, ripping off big chunks,
And paralyzed! I couldn't walk any more.

Then I…STOOD THERE! Tried to hold my ground.
I didn't want to let anyone down.
I tried to muster up the courage, stick around for a while.
I said, "I won't back down!"

Have to…ACT TOUGH every once in a while
Just to try to get anything done.
It's a complicated state, which you try to ignore,
'Cause you might still wind up on the floor.

But I still…have this smile…ON MY FACE!!!
But I still…have this smile…ON MY FACE!!!


Then the floor opened up. I started falling way down.
The world tried to swallow me up.
I was spinning round and round in a spiral tailspin.
I might've just thrown up!

I was carried by the currents down a tunnel for a while,
Then dumped into a leather suitcase
That was propped up by a mobster cutting tongues out of some guy
Without even leaving a trace.

The stars whizzed past. A little baby exploded.
I saw some cosmonauts by a lake.
They were playing a big cello while a duck squatted down.
I wish I had a plate!

Then I bumped into a table standing round in the hall.
How did it get this late?
On the surface of the table, things were moving in and out.
I think I saw a snake!

Then my head came down, pupils shrank back to size.
Good thing I found my way.
Things were going pretty bad, but now I've turned myself around.
Looks like a whole new day.

Where did I go? Even I could not relate
To the things leaking out of my head.
It might have been a wild ride, but it has happened before.
When do I go again?

Have to…ACT TOUGH every once in a while
Just to try to get anything done.
It's a complicated state, which you try to ignore,
'Cause you might still wind up on the floor.

But I still…have this smile…ON MY FACE!!!
But I still…have this smile…ON MY FACE!!!
