There's no use crying when you're alone at night
There's no use crying when you're at home in daylight
There's no use crying over milk that's spilt
It's time for a change and change can choke you up or cheer
Silver lining lead balloons
Press release and whistle tunes
That keep you going through the pain
Time to think is time to gain
There's no use lying when you've got mud on your face
There's no use lying down when life's at pace
There's no use lining all your dreams with silver
For silver lining clouds look much like lead balloons
Silver lining lead balloons
Press release and whistle tunes
That keep you going through the pain
Time to think is time to gain
There's no use having second thoughts or thirds
The fourth and fifth dimensions are usually for the birds
In six and sevens come the wonder eighth
A distant chime begins a countdown into space
Silver lining lead balloons
Press release and whistle tunes
That keep you going through the pain
Time to think is time to gain
Silver lining lead balloons
Press release and change the tunes
I left my dreams in a rental car
Live for now and dream afar
