The Greener Grass

Lyrics

[Verse 1] When you cry Try not to smile You could fill up a lake with the tears of a crocodile We were too young - Over now... To be eating crow - Over now... As if I would know - Over now... Over now... [Pre-Chorus 1] I'm scared Eleven hours 'til the electric arcs I am scared Send scorches through the sky I'm scared Then the whole earth opens wide [Chorus 1] And I cannot wait for the earthquake That buries us in a warm grave The one-legged race, on our last leg The will is yours, so just take it The will is yours... The will is yours... [Pre-Chorus 2] I'd rather find Jesus outside of a book The same thing goes for Robin Hood Never darken my door again If opportunity knocks, let's make him beg [Chorus 2] Let's make him beg Yeah, where did you go? I promise I will kill you right now Let's make him beg Oh, where did you go? Bring a match while you feather your nest Let's make him beg Yeah, where did you go? I promise I will kill you right now Let's make him beg I promise you I will kill you right now [Verse 2] You could fill up the lake with the tears of a crocodile You lead by the nose I cannot wait for an earthquake And always get lost We always get lost To bury me in a cold grave [Chorus 1] Yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah The one-legged race, on our last leg Yeah, yeah The will is yours, so just take it [Bridge] And say it all backwards The greenest grass Was all behind us Get outta this town Hatchet men yelling timber will get us chopped down Get outta this hell Off this rusted train track you still take lying down So swing us around while you're armed to the tooth Keep yourself in the dark of some deep cobalt blue So swing us around by the skin of your teeth Writing us off in invisible ink So swing us around while you're armed to the tooth Keep yourself in the dark of some deep cobalt blue So swing us around by the skin of your teeth Writing us off in invisible ink [Verse 3] You can still find me Between devils and deep blue seas In the desert's hands On a sheet of sand A dry tidal wave Over my feet of clay On unfinished glass Looking for greener grass [Pre-Chorus 3] Trying to make the welkin ring But all my sounds are boomerangs [Chorus 3] Yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah The one-legged race on our last leg The will is yours, so just take it Yeah, where did you go? I promise I will kill you right now Let's make him beg Oh, where did you go? Bring a match while you feather your nest Let's make him beg Yeah, where did you go? I promise I will kill you right now Let's make him beg I promise you I will kill you right now I promise you I will kill you right now [Outro] Not today, not again Dress it up in stolen silver and garbage Not today, not again Dress it up in stolen silver and garbage Not today, not again Dress it up in stolen silver and garbage Not today, not again Dress it up in stolen silver and garbage [Secret Track (spoken)] But that's not something you're willing to do, is it? I'm not here to shoot the breeze, I'm here to see you take it! So go on and keep treating a 'thank you' like your social security card number, and hope you enjoy the view! This is a rat race, and maybe it's time you stop!
