Bathsheba Smiles
 
                                                    
Bathsheba smiles, she smiles and veins turn to ice,
                                                            
She smiles and heads bow down.
                               
She works the room. Air-kisses every victim twice.
                      
She spreads her joy around.

Chorus:
                 
Do you close your eyes to see miracles?
                 
Do you raise your face to kiss angels?
               
Do you float on air to hear oracles?
               
Bathsheba smiles, smiles
                
Bathsheba smiles, smiles
                                   
No doubt can cross her mind, can cross her mind.

Bathsheba knows, she knows you better than yourself 
Confess upon your knees.
She shares her love, and sharing love is sharing wealth
Dig in your pockets, please.

Chorus


No pain, no gain's a strain,
             
but she never seems to hurt.

Catwalk pilgrims sing this song:
                                     
Hello heaven and goodbye dirt and no hair shirt.

Chorus

                                       
Do you close your eyes? Do you raise your face?
Bathsheba smiles, smiles
Bathsheba smiles, smiles
