The Greening Of America

[Verse 1]

She's closing all the shades

She finds the daylight just a little frightening

She pulls the petals overhead each day

But she's opening, her business is blooming nightly

[Chorus]

And every time it does, it gets me hazy

The color of her head changing every day

A little breath of wind and I just go crazy

The greening of America's progressing smoothly

'Cause she's choosing me

[Verse 2]

It's later than I said

And all the world's a shade of black and purple

Everybody else has gone to bed

But when she makes me happy, I just fly in circles

[Chorus]

And every time she does, I just get teary

The color of head changing every day

A little puff of wind and she's always near me

The greening of America's progressing nicely

It's alright with me

[Verse 3]

If there's another life

And if I get to choose, I'd like to be a daisy

I'll stay up waiting for my dusky wife

To open and get high with just my jasmine baby

[Chorus]

And every time she does, it gets me crazy

The color of her head changing every day

A little breath of wind and I just get crazy

The greening of America's progressing nicely

It's alright with me

Every time she does, just get teary

The color of her head changing every day

A little breath of wind and she's always near me

The greening of America's progressing smoothly

'Cause she's choosing me
