SMILING, AND THE WORLD'S COME TO SEE MY EYES
I'M TRYING, I COULD WAVE WITHOUT A HAND THIS TIME
ALL THE WAY UP, I'M CRASHING INTO FAME
TAKEN BY SURPRISE, A BACKSEAT RIDE, IT'S SUSTENANCE

I'LL BELIEVE I'M SHARON STONE, BRIGHT SPOTLIGHT IS WHERE I BELONG
FROM THE EAST STAGE I SEE SOMEONE STEPPING IN MY SHADOW
MORE MAKE-UP, I'M BLUSHING ON THE INSIDE
I'VE GOT NOW MY OWN LINE,
NON-TOXIC PLASTIC LIMBS

SMILING, AND THE WORLD'S COME TO HEAR MY SIDE
I'M TRYING, I COULD DANCE WITHOUT MY LEGS WITH PRIDE
SMILING, AND THE WORLD COMES AT 8 TONIGHT, I'M TRYING
I COULD JUST PUT ON A PLASTIC SMILE

SEVERED A MEMBER AND BURNED MYSELF
THERE'S A FRAMED HORIZON FALLING FOR IT
ALL THE WAY UP, I'M CRASHING INTO FAME
YOU'LL BE TAKEN BY SURPRISE, A BACKSEAT RIDE ON A CAR WRECK

SMILING, AND THE WORLD'S COME TO SEE MY EYES
I'M TRYING, I COULD DANCE WITH MY PROSTHETIC THIGHS
SMILING, ‘CAUSE THE WORLD COMES IN AT 8 TONIGHT
SMILING, I COULD WAVE WITHOUT A HAND THIS TIME
