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
