Sympathetic Smile

An open window shows the stars shine well up there I clear my throat to hear some sound And think of falling out into the open air Blue-black sky and cold, familiar ground Something always pulls me back Something always pulls me back Something always seems to come along despite the, despite the Blow up dolls of superheroes, sad sound-bitten lives These crowded streets of empty faces, loneliness and lies I'm waiting for some sympathetic smile I'm confident it's just another mile I stay up thirty hours waiting for a sign Stilted sunlight pulled through old, venetian blinds Lost cause, a pregnant pause, a shiver when I wake To perseverance wearing thin through all the noise I make Something always pulls me back Something always pulls me back Something always seems to come along despite the, despite the Blow up dolls of superheroes, sad sound-bitten lives These crowded streets of empty faces, loneliness and lies I'm waiting for some sympathetic smile I'm confident it's just another mile I'm waiting for your sympathetic smile I'm confident it's just another mile
