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
