When the shirt came off, it was all in time 
When a m-m-m-minute turned into a mile 
And then I broke that grin, and I cut it out 
And you got all turned on by the taste of your sin--> -Taste of the ocean- 
When I mention blue, all you thought was color 
When you mention drugs, all I thought was sober 
When your pants came off and I turned you over 
When you mention blue 

Kill! Smile! Cut it out for me this time! 
Smile, haven't seen him smile in a while 

Keep the mask aligned 
Get it up in time 
There's a space between valleys 
and try and catch a vibe 
Make a circle square, a rectangle curve 
Use a smile as a noun and I think like a verb 
Really quick switch sides 
Smile Filled with Cancer  
And the room is shaking 
Now you're changing places, 
and I switched my pace, 
and my breathing races when you mention blue 

Kill! Smile! Cut it out for me this time! 
Smile, haven't seen him smile in a while 
Kill! Smile! Cut it out for me this time! (This is not [x6]) 
Smile, haven't seen him smile in a while (Smile, smile) 

Kill, smile, cut it out for me, cut it, cut it out 
Smile, kill, cut it out for me, cut it, cut it out 
We cut it out! 

Kill! Smile! Cut it out for me this time! 
Smile, haven't seen him smile in a while 
Kill! Smile! Cut it out for me this time! (This is not [x6]) 
Smile, haven't seen him smile in a while (Smile, smile) 

Get down and stay awake 
Smile

69 posts	this song is the sickest song in the album this and I'm A Fake. they're so awesome but you wanna hear something sad? i've been hearing a lotta people saying that The Used is starting to sell out because they're having more airtime. i've been a huge fan of the band way before everyone started talking about them. ever since the Take It Away video came out on MTV all those little posers went like "oh yey a new band for me to obsess over" and that seriously pisses me off! now before everyone starts flaming me i just wanna say that i still support The Used, sell outs or not sell outs. those fuckin posers can go fuck themselves why does MTV have to fuck it all up?!

321 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Yah, the song kicks ass and I too hate how MTV eventually ruins great bands. A friend of mine just broke up with his cheerleader girlfriend who "absolutely loved" The Used. To me, that combination just doesn't go together, I'm sorry. Anyways, great song, one of their best ever however I have to rank it behind Buried Myself Alive, A Box Full of Sharp Objects and I'm a Fake.
