lyrics

Das Defino
What really do we know?
(just what you left outside the house)

We read bout the choices
and all of the voices
you're not scared to death
you're scared alive

The nicotine's ransom
the anger is random
you're overwhelmed and under the gun

You dream of going
but Moscow is snowing
and the mirrored walls are closing in
closing in on you

You've been told
bout the Emperor's clothes
but you never seem to mind

You look for the truth
but you find that it bruises
like a kiss on the mouth
on the mouth

Das Defino
Where are you now?

Ben Smith West Chester, Pennsylvania

West Chester, PA songwriter Ben Smith's songs sound good in both your front parlor and your back barroom---all Tin Pan Alley piano and a fading choirboy voice.
