lyrics

The Green

Lyrics by Samuel Nash
Music by Fabien Préaux

VERSE
Tennant's in place beginnings on end
And a plot twist
To pop culture like a bad cop's kid

Though its not serious, not for a millisecond
The middle, the matter, fill this section in, kill the record, then

And as the session spins, feel the lesson in this
The less you win the more you feel the essence in this

A story of
Wasabi and curious things
Granola and furious kings
In the crunchtime

Like curry that stings
Various inks
In precarious songs drawn long
To bury the rings

Yo barely done swinged
As rarely they cling
To a variant's sting
Nefarious links and scary ass bling

Created to conquer
The natives ill wander
Neath' sirius wings
How much you think Sirius thinks?

The merriest men turn hurried when buried in
The cheeriest ten have burned well these theories of zen

REFRAIN
But green is the color of the land
Not the paper that your neighbour covets inside OF his hand
The inside of a man, red like a crimson rain
The space above is black and the grace above is gained (just look up)



VERSE
We have just barely begin...no begun
Be gone.
See sharp, defend, eat ten in a day
Be wrong (be right)

Belong
Get out at least get up, so limbs won't decay
The dogs need a walk, rent; speed; no delay,

Baby needs squash
Yep baby be soft
Maybe we lost to win
Then again maybe we cost, that's all

The lady is off to work talking with i-self
To try, heck, to find
The next direction sign

Check design.
Now let's hit the dime.
At least reflect on what sits
- in the joint!-
Its the lime, after that its the thyme

With the lies and deception
Change of perception
Strange how the truth is
What makes the connection

The man always got to break up the reception
Strength in numbers is not how we see; reject this

If we wont stand together, will we fall together when
Seperate not equal and we let them have their measurements

REFRAIN
But green is the color of the land
Not the paper that your neighbour covets inside OF his hand
The inside of a man, red like a crimson rain
The space above is black and the grace above is gained (just look up)
