 It's wonderful  what a smile  can hide
 If the teeth  shine right and it's nice  and wide
 It's so  magical what you can keep  inside
 And if you bury  it deep no  one can find a thing,  no.
 So come  on now, open wide,  open  up now.
Don't  you think it's time
 To look back  at that boy on his way  to school
 Such a heavy  heart, such a heavy jewel
 hiding something  that one day  he'll sell
 But now if no one  shows, no one tells  a thing,  no.
 So come on  love, open wide,  open  up now
Don't  you think it's time
 Now after  all these years  you are at last  opening
  was it worth all that war just to win
 So caught up in the speed of the days in your sin
 Don't forget how the story begins no
 Don't forget now.
 Now I'm seeing all your lovers and enemies
 They've been turining their keys so full of need
 All trying to see that sure you keep
 What makes it shine, what makes it mine
 But I don't care.
 Just come on now, open wide.
 Open up now.
 There's so much love for what you'll find.
 But what will you find!
 Now after all these years you are at last opening
 Was it worth all that war just to win.
 If it was can you take me back to where it begins
 Come and take me back to where it begins
 Come and take me back to where it begins
 Come on, open wide and let some light in.
 Let us in.
 Let us in.
