LYRICS:
Verse:
Your ship is high
And I don't know
If we'll make it down
But I'm gonna try
To slip inside
The mind of a clown
Follow me
Thinking I can save them
Follow me
Thinking I can turn her frown...
Chorus:
Into a smile
Into a smile
Buildup:
Whoo-ooo, whoo-ooo
Whoo-ooo, whoo-ooo
Whoo-ooo, whoo-ooo
Whoo-ooo, whoo-ooo
Climax (at main riff):
Into a smile
Bridge:
Your ship is high
And I don't know
If we'll make it down
But I'm gonna try
To slip inside
The mind of a clown
Repeat Main Riff:Outro:
Yeah, yeah,
Yeah, yeah,
Yeah, yeah,
Yeah
Into a smile
Into a smile
