remember to smile
i might lose control once in awhile
but i remember to smile
and i suffer from no denial
but your criticism seems so small
it seems like you don't know what matters at all you don't know why I
employ these methods of mine
when a dream is a bird in a cage
a birthday wish is a twisted gun
hey, it's no fun
to be livin' a life that's a lie, I
never needed to be number one
but I might start a rebellion son
or some kind of fight for the feeling inside
and that's why
I might lose control more than once in awhile my friend
but i remember to smile, and I
remember when i was a child
...there was this story i read
when i was a kid
about a man who woke up with his boots on in his bed
he could not remember what he did
there was mud on his boots
as he opened the news
to find headlines about strange crimes in the night
this witness heard a shadow laugh and sprint
but now the cops got the mad man's boot prints
believe me it scares the devil out of me too
that my mind might not know things i do
but i hope you don't mind
if i need someone sometimes
heaven knows we make some immortal mistakes in this life's got no guarantees
at least we have tonight
to be true to what mind's can't define
(that's the blinding white light)
for this, i might lose control more than once in awhile
and i go with a smile
and i suffer from no denial
and when the dark towers over the human race
and the last trace of storm cloud depart me fading away
i will stand in the rays of the sun
when the minions of war and wall street are converging below
when the fires begin i will know
that maybe it's time to come home
when the crystal machine and the heart of the world
reunites all the boys and the girls like rainbows and sunlight
as their tears become pearls
why then I'll walk down the dead end street
and stop the first person i meet
and say thank you for being in the world
in tears i'll tell her,
i might lose control once in awhile
i try to emember to smile
what i suffer from is *no denial* child
