Smile in Spite
A city sleeping
And you go outside
Waiting to meet up
With a friend
Long lost in time
Don't see him standing
You just see the dirt
This is what we do
You know its gonna hurt
It's gonna hurt
And there, helplessly gone
You could see them
Smiling in spite
When they are free
To be as they want
You can see them smiling in spite
Don't know how they do it
Don't know how they can breathe
Don't know how they do it
Don't know how they can breathe
A city waking
Dreams wither away
No use to analyze what you learned that day
So nice to hang out when it's just us two
But if they see us
I sure will mistreat you
Mistreat you
And there, helplessly gone
You could see them
Smiling in spite
When they are free
To be as they want
You can see them smiling in spite
Don't know how they do it
Don't know how they can breathe
Don't know how they do it
Don't know how they can breathe
Keep on drinking
Try to get some sleep
Keep on thinking you'll manage in a week
Keep on smiling
Somehow it looks real
Try to analyze exactly how it feels
How it feels
And there, helplessly gone
You could see them
Smiling in spite
When they are free
To be as they want
You can see them smiling in spite
Don't know how they do it
Don't know how they can breathe
Don't know how they do it
Don't know how they can breathe
How they breathe
