The Smile You Know Me! Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You with your X-Ray specs
You can see inside of me
Or not
I'm a boxer on the ropes
You are standing in
My light
You've wound yourself around me
Like you know me
[Verse 2]
I am smelling user
Something bright and clean
And shiny
And when my back is turned
The point of a blade
A blade
[Chorus]
Always "You know me"
Always "You know me"
"You know me"
[Bridge]
"Keep your arms up son!"
You don't scare me
Bone China teas, China tea
Old galaxies, galaxies
And a town that's under water
None of this is mine
And a town that's under water
None of this is mine
Is mine
You might also like

[Chorus]
Always "You know me"
Always "You know me"
"Know me"
[Outro]
Don't think you know me
Don't think that I am everything you say...
