"Skrting On The Surface" lyrics - THE SMILE

When we realize, we have only to dive, then we're outta here
We're just skirting on the surface
We have only to click our fingers and we'll disappear
We're just skirting on the surface

[Chorus:]
Dull eyes, trying to pull you through the ice
Being drawn to the ledge
When we realize that we are broke and nothing mends
We can drop under the surface

When we realize we are merely held in suspension
Until someone comes along and shakes us
As the pattern lines cross our fingers like a web
Do we die upon the surface?

[Chorus:]
Dull eyes, trying to pull you through the ice
Being drawn to the ledge
When we realize that we are broke, and nothing mends
We can drop under the surface

[Instrumental Outro]
