Stampead - Red, Green, Yellow lyrics
rate meI've got a garden out back with plenty of sun,<br />
but nothing ever seems to grow.<br />
There's a rabbit and a squirrel who have never been friends,<br />
but they still stop and say hello.<br />
Using my shirt for a basket I stole 25 lemons,<br />
from my next door neighbors tree.<br />
I told my boss I need a few days off,<br />
I?ve got a family emergency.<br />
Found a spot in the shade, had a glass of lemonade,<br />
and I wished that you'd come by.<br />
But you never ever do, so I went inside,<br />
and laid down to get high.<br />
<br />
Here I go.<br />
Red, green, yellow.<br />
Uh oh no.<br />
Tick tock, click bang.<br />
Around the sun, again,<br />
tweedle dee, tweedle dum.<br />
Tap tap, clang, hush,<br />
Tick tick, boom,<br />
my broken heart.<br />
<br />
There's a war in the garden and my heart still says,<br />
the weeds will always win.<br />
They spend their lives beating their wives,<br />
they barely feed their children.<br />
If you go by the book, there's a recipe to cook,<br />
a dish plentiful of playful sin.<br />
A spot in the shade, and a glass of lemonade,<br />
that tastes better when it's stolen.<br />
I have nothing in common with the common man,<br />
I lost touch when I lost you.<br />
I sleep to escape each and everyday,<br />
I've got nothing to look forward to.<br />
<br />
Here I go.<br />
Red, green, yellow.<br />
Uh oh no.<br />
Tick tock, click bang.<br />
Around the sun, again,<br />
tweedle dee, tweedle dum.<br />
Tap tap, clang, hush,<br />
tick tick, boom,<br />
my broken heart.<br />
<br />
I was outside late last night,<br />
I set my backyard, I set it on fire.<br />
My neighbor was screaming, but I had a warm feeling,<br />
like it was the fourth, the 4th of July.<br />
If I saw her today, I wouldn't know what to say,<br />
I'm sure she wouldn't waste her breath.<br />
I'd probably tell her, that I'm doing much better,<br />
and that she scares me half to death.<br />
But neither are true, and I want to tell you,<br />
I burned our garden down.<br />
Nothing would grow, since you left me<br />
I wish you were still around.<br />
<br />
Here I go.<br />
Red, green, yellow.<br />
Uh oh no.<br />
Tick tock, click bang.<br />
Around the sun, again,<br />
tweedle dee, tweedle dum.<br />
Tap tap, clang, hush,<br />
tick tick, boom,<br />
my broken heart<br />
<br />
