Lyrics

Innocent Smile

Tripping round the town when the sun comes down
Flying with your friends with the stars alive
Tripping round the town when the sun comes down
Flying with your friends with the stars alive

Running on a high from the spirit inside
Taking on the world with an innocent smile
Running on a high from the spirit inside
Taking on the world with an innocent smile

Something knocked me down
And I fell far to the ground
I lost it all in one night
Just wandering around

Vandalism's fun when there's nothing to do
Breaking few things say it wasn't you
Vandalism's fun when there's nothing to do
Breaking few things say it wasn't you

Let it all kick in, take you for a ride
Strapped to a rocket heading for the sky
Let it all kick in, take you for a ride
Strapped to a rocket heading for the sky

Something knocked me down
And I fell far to the ground
I lost it all in one night
Just wandering around

That's when I got the shiver reawoke my mind
Swinging from a chandelier hanging from the sky
You turned it all around it only took a smile
Swinging from a chandelier hanging from the sky, hanging from the sky

Running on a high from the spirit inside
Taking on the world with an innocent smile
Running on a high of a spirit inside
Taking on the world with an innocent smile

Running on a high of a spirit inside
Taking on the world with an innocent smile
Running on a high of a spirit inside
Taking on the world with an innocent smile
