Time is just a folly we can't see
Shake it, rattle and roll
Play me a serenade
If you only know one song
You and I, we can't change the weather
You are what you are
Play on your blue guitar for me
You are what you are
Songwriters: Roger Edwin Guth, Peter Hagen Mayer
From the clock up on the wall
A simple masquerade
Ah, now, just use you intuition
Now things will be much better
You dream what you dream
Play on your blue guitar for me
The truth is always somewhere in between
You are what you are
Play me a serenade
You dream what you dream
Play me a serenade
A simple masquerade
Play it right or wrong
Play on your blue guitar for me
Play on your blue guitar for me
So let the strong winds blow
Play me a serenade
You'll get less competition

Boy you've got a mission
Shake it, rattle and roll
Now, just use your intuition
You are what you are
You dream what you dream
Play on your blue guitar for me
Someone to deceive
The reason you should know
To this day, it leaves me wondering
You are what you are
You dream what you dream
A simple masquerade
We're all in this together
A simple masquerade
You dream what you dream
Played a song I'd never heard
Play on your blue guitar for me
Boy you've got a mission
You are what you are
Play me a serenade
Don't let tomorrow find you wishin'
Red wine or lemonade
Showed me the slight of hand
You dream what you dream
From the clock up on the wall
Play on your blue guitar for me
Play on your blue guitar for me
You'll get less competition
Play on your blue guitar for me
Poignant and absurd
Play on your blue guitar for me
Blink of an eye, he danced across the strings
'Cause we'll all make believe
Play on your blue guitar for me
Yeah
Don't let tomorrow find you wishin'
Once I knew a man
Don't become a prisoner
