Song: competition smile
Album: Congratulations I'm Sorry
Year: 1996
Looking up I saw nothing but blue in the bluest sky
And now it's creeping across my eye
Going down in my mind, down in my mind
I'm high and I'm hopeless so help me to get untied
Fast asleep now I'm going blind
Falling down in my mind, down in my mind
Just fine, emulate the style, a competition smile
Now I'm running, not looking and opening up my brain
Where it's easy to lose my name
Looking dumb in the rain, dumb in the rain
I'm hoping you'll notice that no one else helps me grow
Oh, it's not easy to let you know
What I'm dying to show, dying until you know
Pretending all the while, a competition smile
Now I've thrown something far and it haunts me like a curse
I'm like a stone falling hard and I'm only getting worse
Looking up I saw nothing but blue in the bluest sky
And now it's creeping across my eye
And going down in my mind, down in my mind
I'm high and I'm hopeless so help me to get untied
Fast asleep now I'm going blind
Falling down in my mind, down in my mind
Just fine, pretending all the while
A competition smile, I'm hiding high
