COMPETITION SMILE Gin Blossums (off the album "Congratulations, I'm Sorry")
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...
