When I paint my masterpiece
You'll be there somewhere in it
In a corner, on a chair
With a smile that permeates the gloom
The viewers in the room will stare
When I say my prayers at night
You'll be there somewhere in them
In the forefront, in the glare
With a smile that radiates through time
Angels who know you're mine will stare
You didn't cost much
But you don't come cheap
You can make me laugh
You can make me weep
The magic circles that you draw
Make us rich, although we're poor
We tumble blindly through the door
On the way to Paradise
If we only opened our eyes
And took our heads out of these clear-blue skies
We'd find all those who stare
Know that we're there
Yes, we're already there
We're in Paradise
We just tried it on for size
It didn't take much guile
It only took a smile
When I lay me down to die
You'll be there deep within me
Still so pretty, still so fair
With a smile to alleviate the pain
The mourners in the rain will stare
