Once I knew a man
Showed me the slight of hand
Blink of an eye, he danced across the strings
Played a song I'd never heard
Poignant and absurd
To this day, it leaves me wondering
Don't let tomorrow find you wishin'
Boy you've got a mission
Shake it, rattle and roll
Now, just use your intuition
You'll get less competition
From the clock up on the wall
You are what you are
You dream what you dream
Play on your blue guitar for me
Play me a serenade
A simple masquerade
Play on your blue guitar for me
Yeah
'Cause we'll all make believe
Someone to deceive
Time is just a folly we can't see
If you only know one song
Play it right or wrong
The truth is always somewhere in between
You and I, we can't change the weather
We're all in this together
So let the strong winds blow
Now things will be much better
Don't become a prisoner
The reason you should know
You are what you are
You dream what you dream
Play on your blue guitar for me
Play me a serenade
A simple masquerade
Play on your blue guitar for me
Don't let tomorrow find you wishin'
Boy you've got a mission
Shake it, rattle and roll
Ah, now, just use you intuition
You'll get less competition
From the clock up on the wall
You are what you are
You dream what you dream
Play on your blue guitar for me
Play me a serenade
A simple masquerade
Play on your blue guitar for me
You are what you are
You dream what you dream
Play on your blue guitar for me
Play me a serenade
Red wine or lemonade
Play on your blue guitar for me
You are what you are
You dream what you dream
Play on your blue guitar for me
Play me a serenade
A simple masquerade
Play on your blue guitar for me
You are what you are
You dream what you dream
Play on your blue guitar for me
