Still Smiling Paroles

I'd rather be there than be flyin'

But it's just one of those things that tragedy brings

That somehow makes me smile



CHORUS:

Well it's rainin' in the hall

The sky's about to fall

Everything's all wrong but I'm still smiling

My best friend's out of work

My boyfriend's such a jerk


I think you need a remedy

Looks like you're walking on a wire

Well someone's pain is another's comedy

Someone else's water feels like fire

We're all kids just having fun

So stop me if you've heard this one



CHORUS



I see smiling everywhere

In the faces of the old man

I hear laughter in the children

And it's our world of swirling contradictions

Maybe we won't get them all



But it's raining in the hall

The sky's about to fall

Everything's all wrong but I'm still smiling

My best friend's out of work

My boyfriend's still a jerk

Makes me want to cry but I'm still smiling



It's cloudy in my head

I can't get out of bed

The radio is dead but I'm receiving

Messages in code

But danger overloads

And my sister's far away but I'm surviving

When it all over everything

I've run out of words to say

I'm still smiling
