I heard a funny thing about me
Lately I've been living on the edge
I won't say that ain't true
But who the hell are you
I don't recognize my own face or my friends
Chorus:
Hey, Mr. Smiley
Read the writing
On the wall
Wake up, Mr. Smiley
Before you don't wake
Up at all, up at all
Today, I hired me a yes man
He simply agrees with everything I say
He does all my dirty deals
And feeds me my pills
As long as I'm still breathing he gets paid
Chorus
Solo
Yesterday I had a conversation
With all them voices in my head
One said I was no good
One said I should quit
One said to remind myself to get myself a fix
Chorus
Hey Mr. Smiley
And I'm feeling ten feet tall
Bye Mr. Smiley
You got to go now, they just called, they just called
Lately I've been living on the edge
I won't say that ain't true
But who the hell are you
I don't recognize my own face or my friends
Chorus:
Hey, Mr. Smiley
Read the writing
On the wall
Wake up, Mr. Smiley
Before you don't wake
Up at all, up at all
Today, I hired me a yes man
He simply agrees with everything I say
He does all my dirty deals
And feeds me my pills
As long as I'm still breathing he gets paid
Chorus
Solo
Yesterday I had a conversation
With all them voices in my head
One said I was no good
One said I should quit
One said to remind myself to get myself a fix
Chorus
Hey Mr. Smiley
And I'm feeling ten feet tall
Bye Mr. Smiley
You got to go now, they just called, they just called
