Make Believe

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The fog is thick over this shoreline And without a mouth that talks It hurts to feel the way in silence Crawling through the rocks The skim milk of human kindness stinks I flushed the whole thing down the sink Now it's just me and you [Chorus] You make it up You make it real Whatever crazy voice you've got I want to hear it 'Cause it's only make believe And sleeping, waking pictures in our minds Are just our way of passing time And we can throw away them all 'Cause they're only make believe [Verse 2] You can see your future melting Through a sieve it's crushed Like a fruit that's over ripened And turned to senseless slush And your smiles are all past tense The hurt's blown up your innocence Now it's just me and you [Chorus] You make it up You make it real Whatever crazy voice you've got I want to hear it 'Cause it's only make believe And sleeping, waking pictures in our minds Are just our way of passing time And we can throw away them all 'Cause they're only make believe [Bridge] You give me that voice that would be warm If I could get close enough But I'm not close enough And you're enjoying the distance The dance steps You dance I witness [Chorus] You make it up You make it real Whatever crazy voice you've got I want to hear it 'Cause it's only make believe And sleeping, waking pictures in our minds Are just our way of passing time And we can throw away them all 'Cause they're only make believe
