WHEN I'D BOUGHT THOSE TWO-TONE SHOES I MET YOU
SILVER-SUITED, LONG-HAIRED, YOU DIDN'T HAVE A CLUE
ABOUT HOW YOUR SMILE ENCOURAGED ME

TO TAKE THE PLUNGE INTO THAT EM'RALD SEA
AND GO FAR, YEAH FAR , SO VERY FAR


YOUR WORDS SO KIND REALLY CHANGED THE KID I USED TO BE
YOUR STYLE SO WILD, FOOTLOOSE AND FANCY FREE
BUT THEN YOU FELL UNFATHOMABLY DEEP

FROM YOUR THRONE, ALWAYS DRESSED UP SO CHIC
TO TAKE THE PLUNGE INTO THAT PURPLE-HAZED SEA


YOU CAME TO GRACELAND TO JAM WITH ME
YES, YOU DID, WHEN MY BODYGUARD SET YOU FREE
BUT NOW WE SEEM TO BE SO FAR APART, YES WE ARE

WE NEED TO THINK OF SOMETHING SMART
TO MAKE THINGS LIKE THEY USED TO BE
COME ON NOW, YOU ETERNAL OUTSIDER!


YOU WORE MY SHOES TO SERENADE MISS WONDERFUL
FROM THE SHOP WINDOW YOU CROONED TO THAT BEAUTIFUL

GIRL, BUT THEN YOU SAW THE END OF YOUR STORY
THE IDIOT WIND BLOWING OUT ALL YOUR GLORY
AND LEFT THAT WORLDLY STAGE IN SUCH GREAT RAGE

AND YOUR PAL GAZING AT THAT MOKUM CANAL

SEEING YOUR SMILE, YEAH SMILE ALL THE TIME

SEEING YOUR SMILE, YEAH SMILE ALL THE TIME
SEEING YOUR SMILE, YEAH SMILE ALL THE TIME
SEEING YOUR SMILE, YEAH SMILE ALL THE TIME
