Sangtekst: Moody Blues. Long Distance Voyager. Painted Smile.

I can sing, I can dance
Just give me a chance to do my turn for you
There's a chance I'll slip but with stiff upper lip
I'll sing my song for you

Laughter is free but it's so hard to be
A jester all the time, no one's believing
I'm the same when I'm bleeding
And I hurt all the time deep inside

I've shed a tear for the lying
While everyday trying to paint this smile for you
Back flips, cartwheeling, somersault feelings
What is there left to do

Laughter is free but it's so hard for me
A jester all the time, no one's believing
I'm the same when I'm bleeding
And I hurt all the time deep inside

Roll up, roll up, enjoy the show
Pick me up, wind me up, put me down
You'll see me go, and this painted smile
May miss for a while, then come back
And steal your show

I sing, I dance, give me a chance
To do my turn for you
With back flips, cartwheeling
Somersault feelings, what's there left to do

Laughter is free but it's so hard to be
A jester all the time, no one's believing
I'm the same when I'm bleeding
And I hurt all the time deep inside

Laughter is free but it's so hard to be
A jester all the time, no one's believing
I'm the same when I'm bleeding
And I hurt all the time deep inside
