lyrics

Mr. Green sits at his desk job every day from 9-5
stares at his computer screen while he hangs his tired eyes
Jots down lyrics and melodies in his poetic form
in between his sales and conference calls to distract him from the norm
There must be something more to Mr. Green

He gets home some nights 'round 6 or so and loosens up his tie
rolls up his sleeves to reveal tattoo's hidden inside
Sits on the edge of porcelain in the bathroom by the stairs
where the walls sustain his guitar and the door keeps out his cares
There must be something more to Mr. Green

And he sings, God you gave the gift of soul so I use it
in this room where songs are born beneath the music
if boss-man fired me I still would not lose it
'cause the bathroom diaries live on, live on, they live on
and my soul fuels it

Mr. Green chills with insomnia about a couple times a week
they go way back to his high school days where the enemy was sleep
They would stare into his future, squint their eyes at the lights
but settled for a computer screen and the bathroom for the nights

Mr. Green gets on that south-bound train about a quarter to 9
blows off a couple work days with a different thought in mind
Says goodbye to Massachusetts, heads to a place where he can shine
one briefcase in his possession with the bathroom diaries inside
No one knows the dreaming side of Mr. Green
