Green Mind Songtext

von Dinosaur Jr.

I picture things a certain way
Then go back to it another day
The green mind said it's okay
'cause you know where they're gonna be
All's you have to do is come with me
It's cool, they're probably asleep

On the outside
That's where they always hide
Come to my side
And I'll introduce you to
Some of their kind
I know you've always tried
And now it's your time
To take in their point of view
Oh it's nothing new

I've been bouncing off the wall
I can't handle them for long
They're cool, but I need you
On a certain level I think they're great
But on another I can't relate
To anything they do

On the outside
Might be with them tonight
Unless you decide
To come in I'll check out you
Hangin' heavy such a routine
I've just begun to forget why I seldom try
To break out of their scene
And now I gotta work on you
So the frogs will hang
They'll always be hangin'
Now we're here what do we do?

I've been sortin' through the pros
And cons of your eyes, they're well told
Can't you help move it along?
I been pickin' through my thoughts
It's a shame I just can't rot
And I sure feel rotten long

On the outside
Well it'll be a while
I gotta unfry
'fore I pick it up with you
Help me
Do I need that stable care?
Don't I know that they'll be there?
Does that count now you've appeared?
Do I need that stable tore?
Or do I jump for something more?
Are you all that I fear?

I been pickin' through my thoughts
It's a shame I just can't rot
And I sure feel rotten long
It's a call that's tough to make
It could be a big mistake
Can't you help move it along?
If I keep stewin' 'bout how I feel
The plate will split so I won't have to deal
Sounds like a plan
But it's kinda lame to let it slide
Knowin' either way I haven't tried
Can't figure out where it all stands
In a green mind
