lyrics

One lively panic
Let’s all sign up and get it if we don’t already have it
Let’s plan to pack up and depart the planet
Sad movie
sans Billie
sans love
sans you and me
It’s unbearably
just so much to touch
so fucking frequently.

And I know
It feels green again at the end
And I know now
It gets green for me in every scene
Somebody pull me up cause I’m down
And maybe could you hang around?
Cause you know It feels green again at the end.

The big gig’s been forgotten
Let’s all dig in and listen
and revisit rock bottom
My pockets of gold
sold cause I never got em
(Come give it to me)
You didn’t let me finish
I didn’t get to pirouette on the deck in my mother’s image
It’s like seeing a cherished memory slowly diminish.

And I know It feels green again at the end
And I know now It gets green in dreams
and embarrassing
Somebody pull me up cause I’m down
And maybe would you hang around?
Cause you know It feels green again at the end.

I begin the untying
It’s a slight step up and to the right of simply dying
And I don’t wanna try
So i’m not really trying
And I find your remarks unkind
And I can’t just hit rewind
To erase your face forever from my mind.

And I know It feels green again at the end
And I know now It gets green and there’s no remedy
Somebody pull me up cause I’m down
And maybe would you hang around?
Cause I know It feels green again at the end.
