St. Vincent — Every Tear Disappears lyrics

Lyrics

Oh, a smile is more than showing teeth
Oh, it’s not the potion, it’s the magic that I seek
Every tear disappears
Every tear disappears
Oh, the more that I struggle
I’m deeper in the pit
If I can show a hand
Then I can show a fist
Call the twenty-first century
Tell her «Give us a break»
Every tear disappears
Every tear disappears
Oh, what about the pain?
Don’t ask me how
I just know that it fades
Hey-hey-hey
Every tear disappears
Every eye is a seer
Yeah, I live on wires
Yeah, I’ve been born twice
Yeah, I live on wires
Yeah, I’ve been born twice
Yeah, I live on wires
Yeah, I’ve been born twice
Yeah, I live on wires
Yeah, I’ve been born twice
