I'd seen it before, the smiles made me laugh   And all that I thought was nothing at last   And so I began to walk out the door   Then turned back around, to lie on the floor   Into the sun I bow my head   And hang upon each word you have said   And if the sun won't shine again, I won't mind   And from the outside looking in   Too many faces wearing grins   And if the sun won't shine again, I won't mind   Is it so hard to let it show   Behind your mask I can see you're bored   And if it's something I've ignored   Then I will say it once again   That if you feel you're losing touch   With everything you've loved so much   For then you might be going gone   From where you stand, from where you are (bye)   Inside the house of smiles we sit   And gather in our thoughts of bliss   And if I'm never coming back   And if the sunshine rays are black, I won't mind   it's all you've ever known   it's all you've ever known   it's all you'll ever know
