Dinosaur Jr. Green Mind lyrics

I picture things a certain way
Then go back to it another day
The green mind said it's okay

'Cause you know where they're gonna be
All's you have to do is come with me
It's cool, they're probably asleep

On the outside, that's where they always hide
Come to my side
And I'll introduce you to some of their kind

I know you've always tried
And now it's your time to take in their point of view
Oh, it's nothing new

I been bouncing off the wall, I can't handle them for long
They're cool, but I need you
On a certain level I think they're great
But on another I can't relate to anything they do

On the outside, might be with them tonight
Unless you decide to come in, I'll check on you
Hangin' heavy, such a routine
I've just begun to forget why I seldom try to break out of their scene

And now I gotta work on you
So the frogs will hang, they'll always be hangin'
Now we're here, what do we do?


I've been sortin' through the pros and cons of your eyes
They're well told can't you help move it along?
I been pickin' through my thoughts
It's a shame I just can't rot and I sure feel rotten long

On the outside, well, it'll be a while
I gotta unfry 'fore I pick it up with you
Help me

Do I need that stable care?
Don't I know that they'll be there?
Does that count, now you've appeared?

Do I need that stable [Incomprehensible]?
Or do I jump for something more?
Are you all that I fear?

I been pickin' through my thoughts
It's a shame I just can't rot and I sure feel rotten long
It's a call that's tough to make it could be a big mistake
Can't you help move it along?

If I keep stewin' 'bout how I feel
The plate will split, then I won't have to deal, sounds like a plan
But it's kind of lame to let it slide, knowin' either way I haven't tried
Can't figure out where it all stands in a green mind
