Skrting On The Surface - The Smile

Lyrics by：Thom Yorke

Composed by：Jonny Greenwood/Nigel Godrich/Thom Yorke/Tom Skinner

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

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

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
