[Chorus]
My smile is stuck
I cannot go back to your Frownland

My spirit's made up of the ocean
And the sky and the sun and the moon

Without an ego flying
With no man lying
And no one dying by an earthly hand
Let the devils burn and the beggar learn
And the little girls that live in those old worlds
Take my kind hand
[Chorus]
My smile is stuck
I cannot go back to your Frownland
I cannot go back to your Frownland
