Green Eye'd Monsta

(album: You're Not A Bad Person, it's Just A Bad World - 2022)

"O, beware, my Lord, of jealousy
It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock the meat it feeds on"

She said, "It never rains here
The smoke needs to clear the air
It's good being on the same page
In a city filled with lions caged"

I'd like to be my old self again
I'm frantic, I'm anxious, struggling
To get myself outta the blankets
Darling, it was good, I was so bloody high
I was the queen and now I'm just a

I'm a green-eyed monster
Green-eyed monster
I can't get you off my mind
I can't get you off my mind
(Off of my mind, off of my mind)

I visit her, are you babe?
La La Land is just a grave
This past year was a disaster
I've got some wretched friends I've learned
Stabbed in the back too many times
Turned on the dimes, take my place in line
People trying so hard to make it look
Like they ain't tried at all
(And that is disturbing)

I'm a green-eyed monster
Green-eyed monster
I can't get you off my mind
I can't get you off my mind
(Off of my mind, off of my mind)

I'd like to be my old self again
I'm frantic, I'm anxious, struggling
To get myself outta the blankets
Darling, it was good, I was on top of the world
I was the queen and now I'm just a

I'm a green-eyed monster
Green-eyed monster
I can't get you off my mind
I can't get you off my mind
(Off of my mind, off of my mind)

"He who fails to heed the lessons of history
Is doomed to repeat its mistakes"
