A Certain Shade Of Green (Acoustic Version)
Incubus · Monuments & Melodies [2009]
A certain shade of green,
tell me, is that what you need?
All signs around, they 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?
Oooooo
My sources say the road is clear,
and 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 gray
watching you procrastinate.
What are you waiting for,
a certain shade of green?
Would a written invitation
signed, choose now or lose it all, 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,jazz
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 gray
watching you procrastinate.
You gonna stand around till 2012 A.D.?
What are you waiting for,
a certain shade of green?
I think I grew a gray
watching you procrastinate.
Ooooooo
