And I heard a sound that called me down to a pretty painted town. Where all the people make the rounds to cover the hounds And they say, if it looks good, it must be If it seems holy, it must be. We all know holy's on the outside anyway If they don't see it, it won't be true So smile again and turn on cue And until tomorrow when we press repeat let's find some solace in our sleep And I wondered what could break them of this spell What truth was there that I could tell These certain master crafters Who shout the sound of breaking And abuse the holy laughter only to bounce it back from the rafters And they say, if it looks good, it must be If it seems holy, it must be. We all know holy's on the outside anyway If they don't see it, it won't be true So smile again and turn on cue And until tomorrow when we press repeat let's find some solace in our sleep I don't want to stand and watch any more I've fought the battle. They want the war With no solution but silent desperation This hollow sanity is not breaking The masks seeking to swallow adoration Leaving only the cruel imitation Of what once was truth And they say, if it looks good, it must be If it seems holy, it must be. We all know holy's on the outside anyway If they don't see it, it won't be true So smile again and turn on cue And until tomorrow when we press repeat let's find some solace in our sleep

And I heard a sound that called me down to a pretty painted town. Where all the people make the rounds to cover the hounds And they say, if it looks good, it must be If it seems holy, it must be. We all know holy's on the outside anyway If they don't see it, it won't be true So smile again and turn on cue And until tomorrow when we press repeat let's find some solace in our sleep And I wondered what could break them of this spell What truth was there that I could tell These certain master crafters Who shout the sound of breaking And abuse the holy laughter only to bounce it back from the rafters And they say, if it looks good, it must be If it seems holy, it must be. We all know holy's on the outside anyway If they don't see it, it won't be true So smile again and turn on cue And until tomorrow when we press repeat let's find some solace in our sleep I don't want to stand and watch any more I've fought the battle. They want the war With no solution but silent desperation This hollow sanity is not breaking The masks seeking to swallow adoration Leaving only the cruel imitation Of what once was truth And they say, if it looks good, it must be If it seems holy, it must be. We all know holy's on the outside anyway If they don't see it, it won't be true So smile again and turn on cue And until tomorrow when we press repeat let's find some solace in our sleep
