Strum

D-DU-UDU

I see smiles and tangled hair

And finger-painted window sills

Clouds the world they say is real

I've tried to see their way

But now I found that up is down

Circles don't lead back around

Something lost is always found

It may not look the same

But some things have to change

Say tomorrow is today that rainy is sunny

I'd rather be a fool than foolish

If the bird became a book I'd run and take a look

While people ran the other way

Afraid to play the fool

Afraid to play

the fool

Open windows and sandy floors

Scattered tables and paper wars

May at first look like such a bore

But really who's to say

What is really real

Say tomorrow is today that rainy is sunny

I'd rather be a fool than foolish

If the bird became a book I'd run and take a look

While people ran the other way

Afraid to play the fool

Afraid to put their hands in the air and say

"Damn it ! I don't care"

Say tomorrow is today that rainy is sunny

I'd rather be a fool than foolish

If the bird became a book I'd run and take a look

While people ran the other way

Afraid to play

Say tomorrow is today that rainy is sunny

I'd rather be a fool than foolish

If the bird became a book I'd run and take a look

While people ran the other way

Afraid to play the fool

Afraid to play

The fool

End on
