smile at me

i see the deadness in your eyes
as you walk through the lies
of the dating game
it's such a shame
that you don't know yet that you
don't have to hide away

i see the glance you give behind
as we while away the time
on this lovely meal
it's just loosing its appeal
because you don't yet know
that i see the knife that's in your hand

i appreciate the effort
of the dullness in your eyes
and i know that behind that mask
you're thinking of my cries -
unlike the other girls you've known
I know the meaning of your koan -
and yes of course i'll scream
because it won't just be a dream
as you smile at me

do you see the little spark
way down in the dark
of my answering gaze
my eyes can be a maze
but i know that if you have a look
you'll uncover my surprise

come and dance with me
and find just how close we beat
in these well worn steps
unleash all your threats
and enjoy the trip as we build
a stairway to my demise

i appreciate the effort
of the dullness in your eyes
and i know that behind that mask
you're thinking of my cries -
unlike the other girls you've known
I know the meaning of your koan -
and yes of course i'll scream
because it won't just be a dream
as you smile at me

whoa just smile at me
i know who you're meant to be
although i respect you have to
play it coy, pretend you're just like
other boys
