Smiling Songtext
von Natl Park Srvc

Canonize: borderline
Your doctor says its ′fine, proper fine
Father claims it's too late
And Momma recognized all the signs
If you′re saved, don't be late
Your pastor wants your time and your dime
Don't you mind all the rhyme and reason
You′re alive, you′re alive

'Cause you just might be smiling
Smiling

You can do away with the pain
And the pretentious but sympathetic way
You look into my face
I can run away, I can go
No more looking at someone who doesn′t know
My love is an oasis


My two cents: recompense with yourself
And try to die looking right
There's no way to evade your hatred
Or the hills you will climb
My advice is divine and morbidly refined, that′s alright
Ride a line, pick a side, and stay there
And you'll find that I′m right

You worry about me
But I can be here
If you'll be here with me
And you just might be smiling

You can do away with the pain
And the pretentious but sympathetic way
You look into my face
I can run away, I can go
No more looking at someone who doesn't know
My love is an oasis
