lyrics

A man went on a journey and a stranger came to town
The sky was in a fury and people gather round.
He said “I’m in a hurry no time to stick around
Looking for the American Smile”.
He tore up all the sidewalks and cut down all the trees
He kicked in all the doors, he didn’t have the keys
Went up to every stranger who was walking down the street
“Have you seen the American Smile?”

Hello, hello can you hear me calling?
The night, the night the night is falling
The stars, the stars, the stars are as cold as ice
The dream, the dream, the dream is fading
The world, the world, the world is changing
The girls, the girls, the girls are waving goodbye
Smiling the American Smile

Further on his journey he found he was lost
The road led to the river but he couldn’t get across,
Time’s the great convincer, was counting up the cost.
Looking for the American Smile
So he patched up all the sidewalks and planted all the trees,
He double-locked the doors against the bandits and the thieves
Deep inside the sanctuary he fell asleep
And he dreamed the American Smile

Hello, hello, can you hear me crying
The sun, the sun, the sun is rising
The light , the light, the light is blinding my eyes
The dream, the dream, the dream is fading
The world, the world, the world is changing
The girls, the girls, the girls are waving bye bye
Smiling the American Smile
