Green Mind  (J. Mascis)


                         
  I picture things a certain way
                              
  And then go back to it another day
                         
  In green minds, it's okay
                                
  'Cos you know where you're gonna be
                         
  Alls you have to do is come with me
                            
  It's cool, they're probably asleep


                
  On the outside
                            
  It's where they always hide
                                        
  Come to my side, and I'll introduce you to
                    
  Some of their kind
                       
  I know you always tried
               
  Now it's your time
                              
  To take in their point of view
                 
  No it's nothing new


                                   
  I've been bouncing off the walls
                                   
  I can't hang with them for long
                           
  They're cool, but I need you
                                        
  On a certain level I think they're great
                              
  But on another I can't relate
                
  To anything they do


                
  On the outside
                           
  Might be with them tonight
                
  Unless you decide to call
                        
  Then I'll check out you


                          
  Hangin' heavy's such a routine
               
  I've just begun to forget
                                  
  Why I seldom try to break out of their scene
                      
  Now I've gotta work on you
            
  So the frogs'll hang
                        
  They'll always be hanging
                               
  Now we're here, what do we do?


                                     
  I've been sorting through the prose
                                               
  Countin' "your"s, "I"s, "they'll"s and "those"
                        
  Can you help move it along?
                                    
  I've been picking through my thoughts
                             
  It's a shame my judgement rots
                         
  I sure feel where I belong


(break)

                 
  On the outside
                     
  Well, it'll be awhile
              
  I've gotta unfry
                                  
  'fore I pick it up with you, help me


                      
  Do I need that stable care?
                      
  Don't I know that they'll be there?
                                  
  Does that count now that you've appeared?
                        
  Or do I need that stable core?
                     
  Or do I jump for something more?
                            
  Are you all that I fear?


                                     
  I've been picking through my thoughts
                               
  It's a shame my judgement rots
                              
  And I sure feel where I belong
                                
  It's a call that's tough to make
                         
  It could be a big mistake
                           
  Can't you help move it along?
                                
  If I keep stewin' bout how I feel

  Eventually I'll split
                           
  Then I won't have to deal
                  
  Sounds like a plan
                                  
  It's kind of lame to let it slide
                                   
  Knowing either way I haven't tried
                                  
  Can't figure out where it all stands
