Song Lyrics

Well it's a silly thing
That I've been wondering
Shall we drink a toast to
Absent minded friends
To all who turn the corner and
To those who went round the bend
Everybody raise your glasses
Drink and drown
Melancholy for the masses
Love come down

Well it's a silly thing
That I've been wondering
Maybe you will never
Bbridge the gulf
Baby you are just too sensitive
Are you numb enough?
Can we ever feel this
Impending void?
Have we become what we intended
To avoid?

Have you ever smiled for too long?
Till you're aching
Have you ever laughed till you cried?
Till your heart is breaking.

Have you ever smiled for too long?
Till you're aching
Have you ever laughed till your heart is breaking.
Well it'a a silly thing that I've been wondering.

Love is always riddled with
Selfishness
Few will find joy in their
Big success
From the sublime to the ridiculous in the
Blink of an eye.
Funny all too funny
You're a funny guy

If it'a too much to feel
Come this way my friend
Try to keep it unreal
Feels good to let yourself descend to pretend
We can transcend our everyday existances
No distances
How did we come undone?
Became what we've become

Have you ever smiled for too long?
Till you're aching.
Have you ever laughed till you cried?
Till your heart is breaking.

Have you ever smiled for too long?
Till you're aching.
Have you ever laughed till your heart is breaking.
How did we come undone?

Have you ever smiled for too long?
Till you're aching.
Became what we've become
Have you ever laughed till you cried?
Till your heart is breaking.
How did we come undone?

Have you ever smiled for too long?
Became what we've become
Have you ever laughed till your heart is breaking.
How did we come undone?

Became what we've become
How did we come undone?
Became what we've become
