The Green Room Lyrics

I've moved a hundred days but I've been standing still
And now I want to follow houses on a hill
Wait until the morning (wait it off)
I got to let the dog in (wait it off)
I'll wait until the morning for more, for more


Stuck to the front seat (wait it off)
My legs they get enough sleep (wait it off)
I'll drive it if you'll let me, I'll have a go

What did we pack up for?
Scrape our bones between the floor boards
The light puts on a show
Then it's gone away and it's gone away, I know

I've moved a hundred days and I've had time to kill
Sometime I want to follow houses on a hill
Wait until the morning (wait it off)
I got to let the dog in (wait it off)
I wait until the morning for more, for more

Stuck to the front seat (wait it off)
My legs they get enough sleep (wait it off)
I'll drive it if you'll let me, I'll have a go

What did we pack up for?
Scrape our bones between the floor boards
The light puts on a show
Then it's gone away and it's gone, away I know
I just want to bring you down
It's a little sad it's a little sad, just back off
I made up my mind on what you said
It's a little mad it's a bitter madness, just ride off

And I just want to bring you down
It's a little sad it's a little sad, just back off
And I just want to hold you down
It's a little sad, it's a little sad
It's a little sad, it's a little sad
It's a little sad, it's a...

After the fists fall quick and mean
And then our tongues crawl where they're needed
And your cameras off
Because you can't see me with it on

What did we pack up for?
Scrape our bones between the floor boards
The light puts on a show
Then it's gone away and it's gone away, I know

Because you can't run
You can't see me with a camera
You can't see me with a camera
Because you can't see me with it on
I don't want to go on
Because I can't sleep inside of these painted walls
I don't want to go on
And I can't sleep inside of these painted walls

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
