Smith's primary instrument was the guitar, but he was also proficient with piano, clarinet, bass guitar, drums, and harmonica.

The ghost of your smile is always looking for new 
Bodies to haunt 
And its been here 
And disappeared
Its hanging around aloofly for awhile
Gradually gone
Its pleasing
And freezing

Well I wonder what it is you're after
Keeping company with this disaster
You looked all over town
Got turned around
To walk back through the mud
The kind you had left behind you

Everybody is the same in this long no-win game 
Where every new blood gets time to 
Become resigned

Now I wonder what it is you're after
Keeping company with this disaster
Why you never tried to tame your master

You just blow through the coals 
Blow through the coals
Blow through the coals 
Till everyone knows 
That your smile is just a ghost
The ghost of your smile was seen on a body in the park
Its old news 
You see that its no use
Waiting to start 
Waiting to light
Waiting till dark
I told you man 
I told you
Well I wonder what it is you're after
Keeping company with this disaster
Why you never tried to tame your master
