The rain is blue
With everything it's ever knew
Pretend, my friend
It fills the air
With painted brushes everywhere
Pretend, my friend
And you won't find
All that's locked within your mind
But you can see
All the things you're meant to be
The sky grows old
With all the things it's always told
Pretend, my friend
And so you knew
You can see my face but you can't see the blue
Pretend, uh huh
And you won't find
All that's locked within your mind
But you can see
All the things you're meant to be
You'll never find
One you hear that's quite like mine
Pretend, my friend
But you can make
Whatever it is you think you can take
Pretend, uh huh
And you won't find
All that's locked within your mind
But you can see
All the things you're meant to be
