Green Light

I'll be your red light, burning, yearning blue
Keeping it cool, well after midnight, down around the pool
Waiting for you to give me the green light
Girl, you know I'll play the fool when I'm alone
So give me the green light
Oh, I'm such a mess without your love
Without your love

I'll be your cherry pie, the cat who's got the cream
Mess with our team, we'll kill you with true lies
You know, legends never dream
Waiting for you under the streetlights
Girl, you know I'll play the fool when I'm alone
So give me the hot nights
Oh, I'm burning cold without your love
Without your love

I'll be your appetite, your summer salted tears
I'll waste your years running from spotlights, hiding down the pier
If you can stand to give me the green light
Girl, you know I'll play the fool when I'm with you
Don't give me that green light
Forget it, let's light the fuse

We can shine on in this crazy emerald world
We can shine on in this crazy emerald world
We can shine on in this crazy emerald world
We can shine on in this crazy emerald world
We can shine...
We can shine...

I'll be your dead light
I burn a busted hue
If I tell the truth, I just need a flashlight
To navigate my way homeward to you
