Incubus - A Certain Shade Of Green Lyrics

A certain shade of green
Tell me, is that what do you need?
All signs around 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?
My sources say the road is clear
The 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'
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 come for hand me downs
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
What are you waiting for, a certain shade of green?

Green, what are you waiting for?
What you waitin' for? A written invitation?
A public declaration? A private consolation?

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?
