Lyrics
SMILING BOY
Silence is deadly and so am I
Feel for the meek washed up on the shore
In a mind where the only sound
Is the ring of the telie calling your nervous system
Cowering spirits like grains of sand
Under the feet of some sultans concubine
They use to call me smiling boy
On till I flew to high and hit the ceiling of my world
Silence is deadly and so am I
Look up to the battle field Custer's breathing
Shave the head of the sacred lamb
Knit me a sweater decorated in human ears
Will someone won't someone listen then
To the want of the blade of grass crushing concrete
They use to call me smiling boy
On till I flew way to high and hit the ceiling of my world
I felt the limits of my world
Silence is deadly oh is it now
Feel the weight of the universe restrict your breathing
Rub some lemons on your face and hands
And hum Tchaikofsky to explain your sourness
Rap yourself in your nations flag
And exalting the virtue of living in freedom
Do you recall me smiling boy
One day I flew way to high hit the ceiling of my world
Touched the beauty in this world
