I Think You Need to Smile

There is something on your breath-
I think it's booze
After all this time
It's your turn to lose
Everything and anything
That makes you want to be
The words out of your mouth
Don't mean anything to me

And it's been a while
I think you need to smile
And wait
For the drugs to over ride your brain
It's fucking nice to be insane
So take a shot
And smile

Don't stand there and wait for me
I'm gone; you missed the train
It's only half-past eight
And your life is down the drain
Your heart has been forever dead
Your body needs to follow
"You're going to hell, kid"
Is that okay?
Or is it to hard to swallow?

And it's been a while
I think you need to smile
And wait
For the drugs to over ride your brain
It's fucking nice to be insane
So be an ass
Raise your glass
And smile

"What's the verdict?" you ask
Hand gripping the flask
Sprawled out on these steps to hell
Only time will tell

And it's been a while
I think you need to smile
And wait
For the drugs to over ride your brain
It's fucking nice to be insane
So take my hand
And smile
