Lyrics

The smile that walks away from you
Is the one that's killing me
The bitter concealed has now congealed
Leaving things out to be seen
They are falling down around me
The passage of time is it not my own
Is it actuality
The phase I go through out of phase
With regularity
The workers laughed and fired their pistols
Shout hip hip hooray
But some of us and me especially
Want to walk away
They are falling down
Falling down around me
And I go through
Falling down around me
Hello again have you seen my friend
Playing games with other boys
Heaven's why you say those things to me
Don't you know it's just a noise
I can't explain this light it seems to
Sprung right over me
I'm finding in the night that I've been
Thinking heavily
So I sing
