Hey little Miss Blue
I see your mascara
on your cheeks.
It's streaming down
I agree with you:
bastards, the lot of 'em.
Still, drop your
water painting act.
There are better things to do
when fate dogs you.
Breaking into tears
is just too common.
It's serious, so smile.
Only jokes require
the utmost seriousness.
It's serious, so smile.
If you're disappointed in gods,
give them a radiant face.
Since it's so serious,
have a little smile.
Dear Miss Blue, the world
is not all rosy.
There is red everywhere,
and for a reason.
It's not ketchup [you see]
on the evening news.
Lots of blues
on this old turntable.
The more reason
to keep your cool
as everything
collapses around you.
It's serious, so smile.
Only jokes require
the utmost seriousness.
It's serious, so smile.
If you're disappointed in gods,
give them a radiant face.
Since it's so serious,
have a little smile...
