Smudge steal your face right off yourhead referrs to how slick mickey "s father was in ripping off the Dead remember he was "hot as a pistol but cool inside" cold bastard wasn't he? he stole the moneyand took off meanwhile the band figures its better than him staying around putting another knife in their backs. all they can do is "smile smile" irony of the whole thing is the band made much more money from the song then Mickey's father ever stole!
