Guess

There are many things to sing about
And then there are some
That you might want to lend tune to
But you don't want them sung
There are many things to talk about
And the things you don't want to tell
You really want to be asked for those
Because you've got to say it to them

It isn't that easy to read a mind
It's difficult stayin alive
If you're guessing all the time
If you ain't gettin it right anytime 

Hey hey is it clear as day
Or maybe a stormy afternoon
When you have to your coat to your sides
From the moment the wind blew

It's as clear
As a stormy gale
As a meteor shower in spring
It's okay
We'l go our way
And exercise our brains

He said he wanted to
She asked if he really wanted to
He said he really wanted to
But he really didn't

She asked if he really wanted to
For she couldn't believe he really wanted to
He said said that he really wanted
Because he thought she wanted him to say how much he did

It isn't that easy to read a mind
It's difficult stayin alive
If you're guessing all the time
If you're gettin it wrong all the time

It's as clear
As a stormy gale
As a meteor shower in spring
It's okay
We'l go our way
And exercise our brains

He didn't do his homework
And she signed him a note
She'd never really call on him again
But his poor heart broke
And he was better than ever
Every other day
And she knew and she knew
She'd had her way
And how he loved her for it 
He could still play

And sometimes everything we want
We want it done some other way
To show that it's not really what we said
Give me a moment with my head

Don't do what they ask you to
Cuz they don't have a clue
Cuz you know that they don't know what they want
You don't know what they want
Nobody knows what we want
But we say things all the same

Hey hey hey
I don't really like what you're doing
But then who am I foolin
Maybe this is really what I wanted
No way

So I sing
Night and day
It isn't that easy to read a mind
It's difficult stayin alive
If you're guessing all the time
If you ain't gettin it right anytime

It's as clear
As a stormy gale
As a meteor shower in spring
It's okay
We'l go our way
And exercise our brains

So let's just say
We don't know Nothin
We just don't know Anything
I really don't know what you mean
But I'm with you all the same
Because even if I could pretend
That I can use my head

I'd just be wrong again
I'd just be wrong again 
It's okay
We'l go our way
And exercise our brains


Muddled minds create  muddled songs

For the record almost the entire song, as it is before you, came to me in a dream. Neat:)
