Competition Smile

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.
