Green and blue and white
Colors of summertime
Sun through the vine
Leaves clouds between
It glows
Crickets bees and butterflies
Click and buzz in silent rhyme
Keeping time
It flows
CHORUS:
The air is clear, the wind reborn
The sun is warm, it's all right here
Yellow black and blue
Color of the sky at night
Moon through the vines
Leaves stars between
It glows

Lyrics:
What did you think I would do when I saw you feeling down
Did you expect me to check if I could make anything better
Bet you were shocked when I did not, but just made your life worse
Proud of myself, relaxed, I laughed at your terse little frown
It was a beautiful day, even I could see the sky was blue
No sign of rain, I was pleased to see you in pain
You deserve what you got and I hope that you rot in a pool of regret
I’ll never forget ‘cuz the pay for revenge is my own expense
CHORUS:
I look in the mirror at my own eyes
They’re looking at me, I can’t get away
I turn to the side, but they’re determined to stay with me
I try but I cannot hide – Evil I
Perhaps you recall, I’m quite sure, how you put me down
It was this time last year, plus a month, on a sunny Sunday
You slighted my grace and delighted my friends by dissing my shoes
I stared hard and glared so I could burn a hole right into you
CHORUS
So you thought if you bought me a gift I’d forget and forgive
That’s a lot to expect as I obsess on events I’m always reliving
Holding a grudge, I never let go, or see anything good
I could I know now, but no I doubt if I would
CHORUS...

I got a backpack full of dynamite
I’m gonna flip that switch tonight
Pigtails and a cigarette
With a lunchbox and a gun
Oh God I’m gonna do it right
‘Cuz all my choices hurt
Call me crazy
I’m free to take it all
It’s what I need
And I’m in touch with it
It’s crap, but that’s OK
‘Cuz I’m in touch with it
Say you want peace like before the war
My quiet neck between your boot and the floor
All I learned, books to burn
Firewood
Wired in the shade
I can’t wait for the fiery spectacle
Falling slowly
Down
It’s what I need
And I’m in touch with it
It’s crap, but that’s OK
‘Cuz I’m in touch with it

Riding high on righteousness, I strode up
I was right, I had the high ground, so I spoke up
Talked the talk but balked the walk, got called up
Tried to run with shoes untied, I f-kt up
Messed up, messed with, I f-kt up, I f-kt up
Messed up, messed with, I f-kt up, I f-kt up
Pretty sure I was in the clear, still f-kt up
Now they know my vice I fear, I f-kt up
Irrespective of practical means, aloft in abstraction, I held my ground
But taking it home, f-kt up
Messed up, messed with, I f-kt up, I f-kt up...
I fell down to the ground, stood with the wrong crowd
Every which way is up, Yup, I f-kt up
Thought it through in real time, weighed the pros and cons
Assessed the situation, then
Carefully, cautiously, studiously,
Messed up, messed with, I f-kt up, I f-kt up...

Lyrics:
Fair at first, then second went great
Far out, far out far out far out
Was it faith, what a thrill
Far out, far out far out far out
We did it together, we did it apart
We got it together, far out
Far out...
Was it fate, was it will?
If it could, it should, it would, it shall
We sailed together, we channeled apart
Always together, far out
Far out...
What was it, that was it?
What was it, that was it?
Did, didn't, if, ifn't, same diff
Far out...
Third was something new, fourth was even more
Far out, far out far out far out
We made it better, we went farther
We did it together, far out
Far out...

Oo-we, oo we are gonna take
Oo, we're gonna take a trip tonight
Ah yeah. Oh yeah, have some fun
We’re gonna have-a fun till we’re done
CHORUS:
Never been so high
Feel like I’m falling, falling, falling
Falling high
Worlds above me, all the world’s below me
Rolling and falling, flying and falling
Rolling so low

Oo-we, oo we are gonna take
Oo, we’re gonna take a flight tonight
Oh My, Oh I never been so light
Never felt delight like tonight
Yeah, we’ll fly...
