<p> </p>
<p>I painted the walls</p>
<p>Grey like the park bench in the movie</p>
<p>Six days had been reduced to three</p>
<p>And the condor was never really free</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thank you for the concern you showed</p>
<p>And thank you for the distrust you bestowed</p>
<p>And I could walk through the exit door</p>
<p>Argue with the ticket taker</p>
<p>And stall the time some more.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The law would have to be a witness</p>
<p>And the Heavens, issue, issue a yes</p>
<p>So take your gratitude, and store it well</p>
<p>In a narrow place that wouldn’t show,</p>
<p>A hollow space that couldn’t care</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Because today I’ve made my declaration</p>
<p>No one’s going to spoil my explication, Oh no</p>
<p>Never again will my lips distort</p>
<p>Never again will my skin, twist and bend</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Mr. anonymous, that’s who I’ll be,</p>
<p>No one will I reach for</p>
<p>No one will reach for me</p>
<p>You know I spent a lot of time</p>
<p>Searchin’ for a clue</p>
<p>Spent many an hour, tryin’ to explain</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But in the end the results the same</p>
<p>I just won’t smile</p>
<p>I just won’t smile any more</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I just won’t smile’ I just won’t smile no more</p>
<p>I just won’t smile’ I just won’t smile no more</p>
