Science Fiction Lyrics - The Echoing Green

Did I hear you laugh 

Or was that a scream? 

I don't quite think you're what you seem 

Is there an honest face 

In a hidden place waiting to be seen 

It's just another day 

In your tragic play 

And then I hear you say 

"It's changed"...but there's something strange 

'Cause you're not the same... 

When you smile 

I can see the pain and the sadness makes me cry 

Your eyes 

Are an open door to the fiction in your life 

Is that a happy face 

Or a hiding place? 

'Cause your smile's not so real 

Is there a touch of science to your silence 

When it comes to what you feel? 

It's just another stain 

on your robe of shame 

And now it's just so plain to see 

That you're just like me...emotionally 

When you smile... 

I can see the pain and compassion make me cry 

Your eyes... 

Are an open door to the fiction in your life 

If it's the truth that hurts 

Then see how you're killing me 

So easily...when you smile 

When you smile 

I can see the pain and the sadness makes me cry 

Your eyes 

Are an open door to the fiction in your life
