Текст песни The Electric Swing Circus — Put Your Smile On

I’m sorry that I forced it
To make it work
Romantic possibilities
Were strangled and torn
Now you tell me that you want me
Only makes it worse
There’s nothing I can do
Because I gotta rehearse

You accept the sacrifice
Like chocolate pie
And as I gobble it up
I find it tastes like a lie
And later, in the kitchen,
With a bottle of wine
My mother asks me
What happened to the perfect guy?

Yeah, ye, ye,
Now, put your costume on
Yeah, ye, ye,
Now put your lipstick on
Yeah, ye, ye,
Now put your smile on
You gotta dance to the rhythm
Rather sing to the song

I see your face the moment
When we come on stage
I feel the sadness
Wearing off as I brush it away
We smile, we dance to music
Coming to suit our pain
But my hidden head is spinning
At the mess we’ve made

Yeah, ye, ye,
Now, put your costume on
Yeah, ye, ye,
Now put your lipstick on
Yeah, ye, ye,
Now put your smile on
You gotta dance to the rhythm
Rather sing to the song

Dancing is addicting
As mint nicotine
It distracts from everything
That’s hurting me
I’m sorry that I wasn’t
Who I thought I’d be
I’m sorry that you thought
You could count on me

Yeah, ye, ye,
Now, put your costume on
Yeah, ye, ye,
Now put your lipstick on
Yeah, ye, ye,
Now put your smile on
You gotta dance to the rhythm
Rather sing to the song

Yeah, ye, ye,
Now, put your costume on
Yeah, ye, ye,
Now put your lipstick on
Yeah, ye, ye,
Now put your smile on
You gotta dance to the rhythm
Rather sing to the song
