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
