The Story of a Would-be Traffic Light

It's me in window Lift hand to wave And we'll make it if we try It's you in middle of careless bed And we'll make it if we try Don't cry, this will be easy Hey! Hey, tell me Hey! Hey, tell me now Tell me about what you did. Hey! Listen! Watch the ghost on VHS in my mind You are not where you're supposed to be Don't you see, don't you see what should be? No you are not, not even close to me Well you'll be where you'll be, in a dream Each night you dress in white and everything you do Blocked out this citizen from growing up with you I know you wanted this, but I am just a boy A boy so pitiful and easy to destroy And it's a long way down from your skyscraper It makes a perfect sound, little skyscraper Green, it's green, it's green, it's green It's red, it's red, it's red, it's red It's a waste of your energy No waste at all! Where were you when the light changed? (I like change) Green, it's green, it's green, it's green It's red, it's red, it's red, it's red It's a waste of your energy
