What good is that happy lie
All you wanted from the start was to cry
It looks like
another fall
Your good friends they don't seem to help at all
When you're feeling kind of
cold and small
Just look up your rainy day man
It does you no good to pretend
child
You've made a hole much too big to mend
And it looks like you lose again, my
friend
Call on your rainy day man
Now rainy day man he don't like sunshine
He
don't chase rainbows
He don't need good times
Grey days rolling
Then you'll see
him
Empty feeling
Now you need him
All those noble thoughts they just don't
belong
You can't hide the truth with a happy song
And since you knew where you stood all
along
Just look up your rainy day man
Now simple pleasures they all evade you
Store-bought treasures none can save you
Look for signs to ease the pain
Ask again
Go
on and pray for rain
It looks like another fall
Your good friends they don't seem to
help at all
When you're feeling kind of cold and small
Just look up your rainy day
man
All I need to do is look up my rainy day man
Now what good is that happy
lie
All you wanted from the start was to cry
