Fear of Green
03:54

As we both marched along
a serpent came and stole your tongue
The spell that he cast upon,
it threw me to the sea
And as I swam back to shore,
just trying to make it home
to the arms that would hold me close,
I sank beneath the waves
Deep down there I met a man
he told me boy to understand:
"The fear of green is to comprehend,
you're nothing but a fish."
CHORUS x2
Nothing but a fish
You're nothing but a fish
So I swam away from him,
I was eager to practice this new discipline
of trying to breathe the air again
and walk among the earth
I tried hard and I did fight
But it's awful tough to lose your stripes
and jump into a clear blue sky
and grow a pair of wings
And now I swim all alone
I feel the current, it takes ahold
This freedom now it is my home
I am nothing but a fish
CHORUS x2
Nothing but a fish
I'm nothing but a fish

Bluebird

Hey, poor little bluebird
Gone away, flew right out the window.
Guess I shoulda' locked the cage!
Then everything would still be okay.
Accept, I gotta move on
That's not where you belong.
Hey, poor little bluebird
What's it like? Way up in the sky
I'd imagine it's cold
Being so rude and so bold
To do as you please,
You've got all you need
Cheap, poor little man-child
Baby I got you beat,
with my rhythm and style
You're outta line, up on your power pole
Baby you're in denial,
Hell that's your whole damned world

To Alaska!

Just give me one last chance,
to prove that I'm not just
the coward you thought you always knew.
You thought you always knew.
And when you're looking up
from the ground,
life's not so bad
life's not so bad (Life's not so bad)
- CHORUS -
I just need a friend,
but if that's too much to ask,
I guess we'll let it burn
forget about the past
it don't matter
least of all too you
I think you could use
a taste of your own medicine,
we've prepared the proper doses
for the coma-tosis
to change your mind
- CHORUS -
And when you're robbed blind,
scratching at the walls,
I'll be there to see you fall
pick you back up once again.
Once again!
- CHORUS - x2

For All Time

Still got one heart, it's okay
I'll make it through the day
Up, down, left right, straight
Let's clear this forest' maze
- CHORUS -
But baby I didn't keep you safe
And now, someone has to pay!
They have to to pay
Hammered thru these fiery caves
Murky depths where twins met blades
Into shadows where the truth is safe
All to keep you, safe!
- CHORUS -
To save you, I'd travel back in time
I'd write a song to raise the sun
Or maybe, just ride
Upon a steed, until my feet
Stand by your side
(For all time!)
- CHORUS -
Up this tower,
Climbed it so high!
Maybe it's you girl, that
Could save my life
As this all comes
Crumbling down!
Let's seal our demons
away for now.
- INSTRUMENTAL OUTTRO -
