lyrics:

Verse1

A certain shade of green,

tell me, is that what you need ?

All signs around say move ahead.

Could someone please explain to me your ever

present lack of speed?

Are your muscles bound by ropes?

Or do crutches cloud your day?

My soures say the road is clear,

and street signs point the way.

Chorus

Are you gonna stand around 'till 2012 A.D.?

What are you waiting for, a certain shade

of green?

I think I grew a grey watching you

procrastinate.

What are you waiting for, a certain shade

of green?

Verse2

Would a written invitation

signed, "choose it or lose it all",

sedate your hesitation?

Or inflame and make you stall?

You've been raised in limitation

but the glove never fit quite right.

The time has passed for hand-me-downs,

choose anew, please evolve,

take flight.

Chorus

What are you waiting for???

A written invitation?

A public declaration?

A private consolation?
