    Smiling faces sometimes pretend to be your friend
    Smiling faces show no traces of the evil that lurks within
    Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes
    They don't tell the truth uh
    Smiling faces, smiling faces
    Tell lies and I got proof

    The truth is in the eyes
    Cause the eyes don't lie, amen
    Remember
    A smile is just a frown turned upside down
    My friend
    So hear me when I'm saying
    Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes
    They don't tell the truth, uh
    Smiling faces, smiling faces
    Tell lies and I got proof

    Beware, beware of the handshake
    That hides the snake
    I'm telling you beware
    Beware of the pat on the back

    It just might hold you back
    Jealousy (jealousy)
    Misery (misery)
    Envy (envy)
    I tell you, you can't see behind smiling faces

    Smiling faces sometimes they don't tell the truth
    Smiling faces, smiling faces
    Tell lies and I got proof

    Your enemy won't do you no harm
    Cause you'll know where he's coming from
    Don't let the handshake and the smile fool ya
    Take my advice I'm only try' to school ya

    Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes
    They don't tell the truth
    Smiling faces, smiling faces
    Tell lies and I got proof

    1,000 yards out
    A couple from the Doors:

    There's a killer on the road
    His brain is squirming like a toad



    I woke up this morning and I got myself a beer

    And you can't find your waitress with a Geiger counter
    And she hates you and your friends and you just can't get served without her
    And the box-office is drooling, and the bar stools are on fire
    And the newspapers were fooling, and the ash-trays have retired
    'Cause the piano has been drinking, the piano has been drinking
    The piano has been drinking, not me, not me, not me, not me, not me

    -----

    And no one's gone over to close his eyes
    And there's a racing form in his pocket,
    Circled "Blue Boots" in the third
    And the cashier at the clothing store didn't say a word
    As the siren tears the night in half, and someone lost his wallet
    Well, a surveillance of assailance, it that's what you want to call it
    And the whores hike up their skirts and fish for drug-store prophylactics
    With their mouths cut just like razor blades and their eyes are like stilettos
    And her radiator's steaming and her teeth are in a wreck, and nah,
    She won't let you kiss her, but what the hell do you expect?
    And the Gypsies are tragic and if you want to buy perfume,
    Well, they'll bark you down like carneys, sell you Christmas cards in June, but
    But Small Change got rained on with his own thirty-eight

    ----

    I plugged 16 shells from a thirty-ought-six
    and a Black Crow snuck through
    a hole in the sky

    ----

    Well, I wish I was in New Orleans, I can see it in my dreams,
    Arm-in-arm down Burgundy, a bottle and my friends and me

    ----

    Well I was pacing myself
    trying to make it all last
    squeezing all the life
    out of a lousy two day pass
    and I had a cold one at the Dragon
    with some Filipino floor show
    and talked baseball with a lieutenant
    over a Singapore sling
    and I wondered how the same moon outside
    over this Chinatown fair
    could look down on Illinois
    and find you there
    and you know I love you Baby

    and I'm so far away from home
    and I miss my Baby so
    I can't make it by myself
    I love you so

    ----

    One night Frank was on his way home
    from work, stopped at the liquor store,
    picked up a couple Mickey's Big Mouths
    drank 'em in the car on his way
    to the Shell station, he got a gallon of
    gas in a can, drove home, doused
    everything in the house, torched it,
    parked across the street, laughing,
    watching it burn, all Halloween
    orange and chimney red then
    Frank put on a top forty station
    got on the Hollywood Freeway
    headed north
    Never could stand that dog

    You are young and life is long, and there is time to kill today
    And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
    No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
    And you run, and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
    Racing around to come up behind you again
    The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older
    Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

    Time - Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon

    That's exactly what I was going to post. I'm glad I read through the thread first!

    My favorite Eagles lyrics...

    So you can get on with your search baby
    And I can get on with mine
    And maybe someday we will find
    That it wasn't really wasted time

    I think about my grandpa and my neighbors and my name
    And some nights I feel like dying like that scarecrow in the rain
    Rain on the scarecrow blood on the plow
    This land fed a nation this land made me so proud
    And son I'm just sorry they're just memories for you now

    Not classic rock but some other favorites:

    My roots are deeper than the bones of the others
    My colors that change with the sun
    My branches were higher
    Than anything on the hillside
    On the day that I watched them all come

    Some wear the color of the sky in the winter
    Some were as blue as the night
    They came like a storm with the light of the morn
    And they fell through the whole day and night

    When the light came again
    There was death on the wind
    As the buzzards made way for the worms
    And the little white trees that don't been in the breeze
    For the ones that will never return



    Now he's 58 and his pony tail's gray
    But the battle still plays in his head
    He limps when he walks but he's strong when he talks
    About the shrapnel they left in his leg

    He puts on a gray suit over his Airborne tattoo
    And he ties it on one time a year
    And remembers the fallen as he orders a tall one
    And swallows it down with his tears

    Thank you to all the posters that include band and song title, I certainly know a lot of lyrics but don't know them all. Some I saw were interesting but have no idea what it is...

    Hook, Blues Traveler

    It doesn't matter what I say
    So long as I sing with inflection
    That makes you feel I'll convey
    Some inner truth or vast reflection
    But I've said nothing so far
    And I can keep it up for as long as it takes
    And it don't matter who you are
    If I'm doing my job then it's your resolve that
    breaks
