Tools of the Trade
Look up,
and you can't cry
look down
see how dark it's gone
these are
the tools of the trade
Changing state is second nature
you can always swop your game
be someone new
with the the tools of the trade
And if you wonder
about the weather
when it's raining in your head
don't reach for your umbrella
just put sunshine there instead
It's easy with
the tools of the trade
Twist your gut with reasoning
call it magic without pain
all you need to do
is blink and then reframe
So go and learn
the tools of the trade
and you can't cry
look down
see how dark it's gone
these are
the tools of the trade
Changing state is second nature
you can always swop your game
be someone new
with the the tools of the trade
And if you wonder
about the weather
when it's raining in your head
don't reach for your umbrella
just put sunshine there instead
It's easy with
the tools of the trade
Twist your gut with reasoning
call it magic without pain
all you need to do
is blink and then reframe
So go and learn
the tools of the trade
