Lyrics
Had so many last names makes your head spin
Closed the door turned the key plastered that old grin
Too many fathers and not enough of mom
Too many sleepless nights you became your own smart bomb
Janice do you still smile ? Wonder what she's thinking
Janice do you still smile? Had it with the drinking
The in and out, revolving door is in your DNA
In the darkness who will be the one to make it go away ?
Full Bright scholarship couldn't help you win this race
The more you worked the more compelled to slide that mask upon your face
Janice do you still smile ? Wonder what she's hiding
Janice do you still smile? Your five world's colliding
Your wedding day
The cake, the dress
Smile covering your duress
More champagne, the long white train
Reverend presiding over this fine mess
Boom and bust, the Silicon lust, you got out in time
Bought your piece of paradise thought you'd go off line
Island fever ship of feelings run aground
The one you chose to give your heart
Couldn't save you when you drowned
Janice do you still smile ? Wonder what she's dealing
Janice do you still smile ? What is it she's......
Janice do you still smile ? Wonders what she's thinking
Janice do you still smile?
Janice
Janice
Come out come out
Where ever you are
