Every evening 
You come around here in your cloak of lies 
Half-believing 
I sit and listen as you offer up the prize 

Pick up your smile 
Just go faithless friend 
There is no pleasure waiting here for you 
Pick up your smile 
Just go faithless friend 
I don't see you any more as an angel of mercy 

Imitations 
Of the good life were your stock in trade 
Pale imitations 
You run for cover when the promise starts to fade 

Pick up your smile 
Just go faithless friend 
There is no treasure waiting here for you 
Pick up your smile 
Just go faithless friend 
I don't see you any more as an angel of mercy 

You play the game well 
You've got the knack 
Your hand in the till 
And the knife in the back 
Head for the hills 
Leaving them flat 
How come you treat 
Everybody like that? 

Spaced invader 
Of my privacy be on your way 
Tricky trader 
In webs of fantasy, the bank is closed today 
Pick up your smile 
Just go faithless friend 
There is no pleasure waiting here for you 
Pick up your smile 
Just go faithless friend 
I don't see you any more as an angel of mercy 

Pick up your smile 
Just go faithless friend 
There is no treasure waiting here for you 
Pick up your smile 
Just go faithless friend 
I don't see you any more 
As an angel of mercy 
Oh, an angel of mercy 
Oh, an angel of mercy
