Lyrics
A house in which
every clock is set
at a time
incorrect
where shadows
don't fall although
light shine down
on our
hapless heroes
who bask in their bewilderment
submerged in their
outward happiness
Obsessed
with the fruits
of their success
white teeth
a winning smile
lips parted in
public relations style
A smile
so sickening
a fraudulent
existance
troubled by consistent
faultless appearances
the mask
permanently affixed
the front
always in place
submerged in their
outward happiness
Obsessed
with the fruits
of their success
white teeth
a winning smile
lips parted in
public relations style
Consumed by ambition
the spinners control
truth folds to deception
the grinners take all
lies take the table
Fake, friendly
and dangerous
submerged in their
outward happiness
Obsessed
with the fruits
of their success
white teeth
a winning smile
lips parted in
public relations style
