Greener Grass Lyrics - Arrows & Anchors - Fair To Midland

when you cry 

try not to smile 

you could fill up a lake 

with the tears of a crocodile 

we were too young 

to be eating crow 

as if I would know 

(i'm scared) 

11 hours till the electric arcs 

(i'm scared) 

send scorches through the sky 

(i'm scared) 

than the whole earth opens wide 

and i cannot wait for the earthquake 

that buries us in a warm grave 

the one-legged race, on our last leg 

the will is yours, so just take it 

the will is yours 

i'd rather find jesus outside of a book 

the same thing goes for robin hood 

never darken my door again 

if opportunity knocks, let's make him beg 

let's make him beg 

yeah, where did you go? 

i promise i will kill you right now 

oh, where did you go? 

bring a match while you feather your nest 

yeah, where did you go? 

i promise i will kill you right now 

you could fill up a lake 

with the tears of a crocodile 

you lead by the nose and always get lost 

(i cannot wait for the earthquake) 

we always get lost 

(to bury me in a cold grave) 

get outta this town 

hatchet men yelling timber 

will get us chopped down 

get outta this hell 

off this rusted train track 

you still take lying down 

so swing us around 

while you're armed to the tooth 

keep yourself in the dark 

of some deep cobalt blue 

so swing us around 

by the skin of your teeth 

writing us off in invisible ink 

so swing us around 

while you're armed to the tooth 

keep yourself in the dark 

of some deep cobalt blue 

so swing us around 

by the skin of your teeth 

writing us off in invisible ink 

you can still find me 

between devils and deep blue seas 

in the desert's hands 

on a sheet of sand 

a dry tidal wave 

over my feet of clay 

on unfinished glass 

looking for greener grass 

trying to make the welkin ring 

but all my sounds are boomerangs 

yeah, where did you go? 

i promise i will kill you right now 

oh, where did you go? 

bring a match while you feather your nest 

yeah, where did you go? 

i promise you i will kill you right now 

not today, not again 

dress it up in stolen silver and garbage
