It was rust and rags
But we got that scrap dream glowing
Swore we were throwing a wrench into 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 (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?
Well, 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
Go make the weather
Go pull the stars closer in
Go make the weather
Go race light, go build the wind
Go make the weather
Go pull the stars closer in
Go make the weather
Go race light, go build the wind
Go make the weather
Go pull the stars closer in
Go make the weather
Go race light, go build the wind
