In Line for a Smile

Oh how in the world are you Keeping up with the Jones' on the morning news Taking pictures of some kind of brand new boots Tell us how you're gonna use them There is a way you say you love me So terrifying temporarily We used each other like two turn keys Now we want out of the room Well this is the stuff of legend To wake up everyday pretending Because I don't understand my friends I know nothing more than them Maybe this can wait for a while I'll go through the motions then Hanging on to mostly threads Maybe I'm in line for a smile This is a good start so keep me on You know how I go when the song is done Optimism abounds when I'm on the run Tell me more about my life please Carpet burns on Velvet Underground Drink as much as I can when I like the sound Don't want to explain where it comes from now It hits me right between the eyes Well this is the stuff of legend To wake up everyday pretending Because I don't understand my friends I know nothing more than them Maybe this can wait for a while I'll go through the motions then Hanging on to mostly threads Maybe I'm in line for a smile Maybe I'm in line for a smile Don't forget me when I'm hiding in plain sight I'm only disguised as what you don't like Don't like I'm just a drop of rain In the great Northwest on an October day Never know what I might do or say I'm not always so black & white So put on a song that I understand Calm me down with your gentle hand Tell me stories of war in a far off land Tuck me in and say good night Well this is the stuff of legend You wake up everyday pretending Because I don't understand my friends I know nothing more than them Maybe this can wait for a while (Maybe this can wait for a while) I'll go through the motions then Hanging on to mostly threads Maybe I'm in line for a smile (Maybe I'm in line for a smile) Maybe I'm in line for a smile (Maybe I'm in line for a smile) Maybe I'm in line for a smile
