Greener Grass
Fair to Midland

When you cry

Try not to smile

You could fill up a lake

With the tears of a crocodile

We were too young

To be eating crow

As if I would know

(I'm scared)

Eleven hours till the electric arcs

(I'm scared)

Send scorches through the sky

(I'm scared)

Than the whole earth opens wide

And I cannot wait for the earthquake

That buries us in a warm grave

The one-legged race, on our last leg

The will is yours, so just take it

The will is yours

The will is yours

I'd rather find Jesus outside of a book

The same thing goes for Robin Hood

Never darken my door again

If opportunity knocks, let's make him beg

Let's make him beg

Yeah, where did you go?

I promise I will kill you right now

Oh, where did you go?

Bring a match while you feather your nest

Yeah, where did you go?

I promise I will kill you right now

I promise I will kill you right now

You could fill up a lake

With the tears of a crocodile

You lead by the nose and always get lost

(I cannot wait for the earthquake)

We always get lost

(to bury me in a cold grave)

Get outta this town

Hatchet men yelling timber

Will get us chopped down

Get outta this hell

Off this rusted train track

You still take lying down

So swing us around

While you're armed to the tooth

Keep yourself in the dark

Of some deep cobalt blue

So swing us around

By the skin of your teeth

Writing us off in invisible ink

So swing us around

While you're armed to the tooth

Keep yourself in the dark

Of some deep cobalt blue

So swing us around

By the skin of your teeth

Writing us off in invisible ink

You can still find me

Between devils and deep blue seas

In the desert's hands

On a sheet of sand

A dry tidal wave

Over my feet of clay

On unfinished glass

Looking for greener grass

Trying to make the welkin ring

But all my sounds are boomerangs

Yeah, where did you go?

I promise I will kill you right now

Oh, where did you go?

Bring a match while you feather your nest

Yeah, where did you go?

I promise you I will kill you right now

Not today, not again

Dress it up in stolen silver and garbage

Not today, not again

Dress it up in stolen silver and garbage

Not today, not again

Dress it up in stolen silver and garbage
