The Statue's Secret Smile



Nobody knows it, but you've got a secret smile,
and you use it only for me
Nobody knows it, but you've got a secret smile,
and you use it only for me

It may seem crazy, that im singing to a statue
The people around here throw dirty looks at you
But she's here all the time, I'm sure that you've seen
She's made out of metal, all lit up and green

She sits at the crossroads and watches the traffic
the brawls in the pub, now I wont get too graphic
The buildings tower over her, casting their shadows
But she's not moving anywhere what else does she know

But she can see, the soul of the city
She's watching me, with a smile with some pity

Nobody knows it, but shes got a secret smile,
and she'll use it only for me
They say the walls have ears but, what if this statue could speak
Oooh no...
But she can see, the soul of the city
She's watching me, with a smile with some pity
Nobody knows it, but shes got a secret smile,
and she'll use it only for me
