A certain shade of green
Tell me, is that what do you need?
All signs around say move ahead
Could someone please explain to me
Your ever present lack of speed?
Are your muscles bound by ropes?
Or do crutches cloud your day?
My sources say the road is clear
The street signs point the way
You gonna stand around till 2012 A.D.?
What are you waiting for a certain shade of green?
I think I grew a graywatching you procrastinate
What are you waiting for a certain shade of green?
Would a written invitation
Signed, choose now or lose it all
Sedate your hesitation?
Or inflame and make you stall?
You've been raised in limitation
But that glove never fit quite right
The time has passed for hand-me-downs
Choose a new, please evolve take flight
You gonna stand around till 2012 A.D.?
What are you waiting for a certain shade of green?
I think I grew a graywatching you procrastinate
What are you waiting for a certain shade of green?
Green, what are you waiting for?
What you waiting for? A written invitation?
A public declaration? A private consolation?
Remember when you procrastinate, you choose last
You gonna stand around till 2012 A.D.?
What are you waiting for a certain shade of green?
I think I grew a graywatching you procrastinate
What are you waiting for a certain shade of green?
