Smiling with No Teeth

Everybody wants the summer without holding the rain

Everybody wants the feeling without touching the pain

Everybody wants the sweetness without tasting the bland

Everybody wants the help but they ain't lending a hand

Yes, indeed

Oh, yes, indeed

Keep the Grammy for you, we need an Oscar

The greatest actors the world has ever seen

Slathering honey on our demons for the palate of the apathetic

Isn't that pathetic?

Our temples are at capacity but we continue to cram in body after body

Soul after soul

Opinion after opinion

Till we don't care what's really ours

Everybody wants the summer without holding the rain

Everybody wants the feeling without touching the pain

Everybody wants the sweetness without tasting the bland

Everybody wants the help but they ain't lending a hand

Yes, indeed

(Everybody

Everybody)

Oh, yes, indeed

(Everybody

Everybody)

I would never leave you alone, baby

Not to say I wouldn't if I could

I've read the story of the two black dogs

Society's stray and the stray's hound

Caressing and stabbing each other with a technician's touch

Too many cries have cried with no tears

Too many nets cast into fishless lakes

Too many smiles cracked with no teeth

Everybody wants the summer without holding the rain

Everybody wants the feeling without touching the pain

Everybody wants the sweetness without tasting the bland

Everybody wants the help but they ain't lending a hand

Everybody wants the summer without holding the rain

Everybody wants the feeling without touching the pain

Everybody wants the sweetness without tasting the bland

Everybody wants the help but they aint lending a hand

Yes, indeed

(Yes, indeed)

Smiling with no teeth

Smiling with no teeth

Smiling with no teeth
