Smile

Lyrics

The mystical selfish man named chance
spins us round, a solemn dance.
The devil may play his cards.
God’s dice may roll.
How will death befall us?
How will life unfold?

“A smile is my poker face.”
That’s what every clown says.
“A smile is my poker face
so please make the pain end.”

A smile is my poker face.
I couldn’t tell you why.
If you asked me how I feel
I couldn’t help but lie.

“A smile is my poker face.”
I think this thought in fear.
A smile is my poker face.
Oh me. Oh my. Oh dear.

A smile is my poker face.
It fills up my head.
It fills me with butterflies.
It fills me with dread.

A smile is my poker face.
For what I have no clue.
A smile is my poker face.
I even wear it with you.

I hold on to this poker face.
I wear it like a mask.
If I didn’t have it
I’d crawl back to my past.

A smile is my poker face,
my helper, my friend.
My smile is my poker face,
and I am just

pretend.

“A smile is my poker face.”
That’s what I’ve always said.
A smile is my poker face
Now, please, let this thing end.

Oh it’s a smiley face.
Woe is my smiley face.

Let us stand together,
Band together,
Put our feets and hands together,
And make a better place
For the entire human race.
