It was rust and rags
But we got that scrap dream glowing
Swore we were throwing
A wrench info the gadget age
It was smoke and mirrors
Could've laughed at that tin joke forever
I'm sorry you'll never
Risk living such a pretty lie
Would you have tried that?
Think you could've pulled it off?
OK start with something simple like...
Go make the weather
Go pull the stars closer in
Go make the weather
Go race light
Go build the wind
Now it's black and white
Now my golden and green's turning grayer
But we were the players
And old enough to act like kids
It was bait and switch
Just seven minutes in heaven
But we called it even
To even have it last that long
Such a pretty lie
Are you gonna try that?
Maybe you can pull it off
Ever entertain the thought you might...
Go make the weather
Go pull the stars closer in
Go make the weather
Go race light
Go build the wind
