Lyrics

Return to Oz

Smudge and blazes Green, green, green I may be lifeless But I value my hollow Smudge and blazes Green, green, green I may be lifeless But I value my hollow Hormone wash I've been chasing you like a goddamn maniac Forget about your friends You can't help them now Petrified polymorphs I'm tired of the games we're playing Of many excellent qualities Thinking has never been one of them Can't stop me now Got to get going home Take me home Smudge and blazes Green, green, green I may be lifeless But I value my hollow Smudge and blazes Green, green, green I may be lifeless But I value my hollow Yes, I value my hollow
