The Color Green

(album: Book Of Shadows - 1996)

I recall when you once said
There's truth in both of us
And all that lies ahead
I take it your tongue
It just got twisted
Or maybe it got tired
Or maybe your memory waved goodbye

When your so-called friends forget your name
When your so-called friends, they ain't the same
When your so-called friends, they've lost their way
And they ain't what they was just the other day, hey
Shoulda listened to what my folks, they had to say
Just like a dog thats turned on you
Ain't it funny what the color green will make some people do?

How I couldn't see thru your thin disguise
Lord only knows, and such a fool was I
Happy-go-lucky thats what I was, and what I hope to be
But I feel that I've lost that side of me

When your so-called friends forget your name
When your so-called friends they ain't the same
When your so-called friends they've lost their way
And they ain't what they was just the other day, hey
Shoulda listened to what my folks, they had to say
Just like a dog thats turned on you
Ain't it funny what the color green will make some people do?
