[Verse 1] When the red light shines On the streets of hate Where the devil dines Who knows what he ate It's a simple thing Trying to stay afloat The captain said Without his boat Some things are getting better Other things a little worse It's a situation Much like a curse [Chorus] It's the devil's sidewalk greendale It's the devil's door greendale I try to avoid it," greendale Said the captain of the shore greendale [Bridge] There's a garden growing greendale And a million weeds greendale With no way of knowing greendale Who has done which deed greendale [Verse 2] That's an honest tale Said the helmsman to the mate About a woman delicious And a matter of fate Big wheel's still rolling Down on me One thing i can tell you Is you got to be free John Lennon said that And i believe in love I believe in action When push comes to shove Who cares what you believe Said the captain amazed If you stood in my shoes Your eyes would be glazed [Chorus] So my fair damsel greendale Won't you take your leave greendale Are you headed for the country greendale Where you wear the green sleeve greendale [Outro] And the children laugh greendale And the old folks sing greendale And the church bells toll greendale For a miraculous thing greendale Where the big red furnace greendale Just glows and glows greendale Where the big heart beats greendale Where the big wheel rolls greendale
