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 Ah, 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 Ah, 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
