Greens of this
where's a manual when you need one?
the back of your hand's
no good to you now
at right angles, its all shaped wrong when it should be rolling
you're piling every trick this box hasn't got
it's alright, didn't i tell you so?
it's alright, it's all in the process
it's alright, you're all set to go
so don't give me that look cuz i know you're up to it
my favorite thing
to walk out on the bridge and look back on manhattan
under sunset covers while the city lights up
you'll find yours whoever, whatever you need it'll be here
guaranteed amongst these golden oat streets
it's alright, cuz im telling you so
it's alright, it's all in the process
it's alright, you're all set to go
so don't give me that look cuz i know you're up to it
just one place
just one place
to make amends
just one friend
just one friend
that's all it takes, darling
it's alright, didn't i tell you so?
it's alright, it's all in the process
it's alright, and you're all set to go
so don't give me that look cuz i know you're up to it
