Verse 1
Smiley Riley needs a hug, hes going to lose his house,
In the middle of a recession he eats breadcrumbs like a mouse.
No one pays attention anymore, hes losing hope,
For life he worked late nights, now he just cant cope.
Verse 2
Smiley Riley needs a hug, hes angry with the Lord,
Hes not able to pay his way, at the point of a sword.
A new standard of living is so hard to accept,
No longer in the money, filled with regret.
Chorus
Touch the stars Smiley Riley, hidden from the light of day,
Sit on a cold cold bench, as winter nights slip away.
Fall in love with hunger, step by step fall asunder,
Touch the stars Smiley Riley.
Verse 3
Smiley Riley needs a hug, now he cheats and steals,
He sneaks around starving, looking for another meal.
He lives outside the law, full of evil, full of sin,
In anger he killed a man, a Bum named Jim.
Verse 4
Smiley Riley needs a hug, hes standing in a courtroom,
A Gorilla of a Judge says hell be punished very soon.
No ones going to save him, yet he screams, Come On!
With effort now it sinks in that hell soon be gone.
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
The end is not far off,
Weve reached his final hour,
The touch of a rope is waiting,
Ready to devour.
