<p>&nbsp;</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>&nbsp;</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>&nbsp;</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&rsquo;t show,</p>
<p>A hollow space that couldn&rsquo;t care</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Because today I&rsquo;ve made my declaration</p>
<p>No one&rsquo;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>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Mr. anonymous, that&rsquo;s who I&rsquo;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&rsquo; for a clue</p>
<p>Spent many an hour, tryin&rsquo; to explain</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>But in the end the results the same</p>
<p>I just won&rsquo;t smile</p>
<p>I just won&rsquo;t smile any more</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I just won&rsquo;t smile&rsquo; I just won&rsquo;t smile no more</p>
<p>I just won&rsquo;t smile&rsquo; I just won&rsquo;t smile no more</p>
