How To Fight The Loneliness Lyrics
Wilco
Lyrics
How to fight loneliness
smile all the time
shine your teeth to meaningless
and sharpen them with lies
And whatever is going down
will you follow around
that's how you fight loneliness
You laugh at every joke
drag your blanket blindly
fill your heart with smoke
And the first thing that you want
will be the last thing you'll ever need
that's how you fight it
Just smile all the time
just smile all the time
just smile all the time
just smile all the time
...phyx...
