Verse
The Green is Fairly Littered
Jeremy Hurtt•
but why should I be
Verse 1
I'm ready to choose, if you're ready to cry.I'm ready for truth, are you ready to die?There's many a few who've lived out their lie -Their leavings are truths, their armor is pride.I've danced with the devil at the top of the stairs.Made love to his shadow when his people were there.I made a fine example of what nevers you should care,Cast my lot with indifference, its a fine young cross to bare.
Chorus
How simple.How, simple?I've abandoned my means!Taken to the world -Does the world mean anything?I'm living.I'm living?But why should I be?When the Green is fairly littered withMuch better men than me?
Verse 2
I've made up new rules, do you see me at my game?When egos get bruised, then the losers get named.Retreat, now refuse...this seems to be un-same...I seem to be confused, as I usually seem these days.My anchor is unmoored, I'm drifting out to seeIf one among the poor, Valhalla waits for me.My failures get ignored, and I abhor the door I need;I need to be no more, but abjure the lure of sleep.
Chorus
How normal.How, normal?I've evaded my fate!Kept upon the world -But is the world too late?I'm living!I'm living?But why should I be?When the Green is fairly littered withMuch better men than me?
Verse 3
It's all within my grasp, just millions of miles away -When it's there at last, the smoking son will play.Mountains made of ash compact as clouds grow grayTill tiny foothills last, and pass from new decay.Ask anything you please, my life's your open book,Give the thing a squeeze, what's the least you could have took?The universe agrees and another match is struck,Dance, the sulfur and the seas! Dance, monkey on a hook!
Chorus
How ugly.How, ugly?I've accepted my dream!I'm down inside the world -And the world means not a thing.I'm living?I'm living,But why should I be?When the Green is fairly littered withMuch better men than me?
