Seen quite a bit in my twenty-three years,
                 
I've been manic depressive
                 
And I've spat a few tears.

           
Spat on and shat on
                            
Tell me when my light's on
                                         
Would you please tell me when my light turns green?

   (x2)

           
Spat on and shat on
                            
Tell me when my light's on
                                         
Would you please tell me when my light turns green?

            
Rambling and gambling
             
Just hoping for more
                    
I've been losing and boozing
                   
But I don't know what for

            
Will anybody help?
                            
Tell me when my light's on
                                         
Would you please tell me when my light turns green?

It's not that I don't believe in you
                                
Oh, your work's all around for me to see

                
Won't you please help?
                            
Tell me when my light's on
                                         
Would you please tell me when my light turns green?

  

                                           
Would you please tell me when my light turns green?

  

                                           
Would you please tell me when my light turns green?
