Wait for Green

Appears on Souvenirs

Flash of feeling fills the mind, so visceral and pure 
With the sound of breaking glass in a molten metal cast 
From a moment dressed in peace to havoc’s great escape 
Smoke billows from the street when there’s no one there to see 
The face against the wheel and all that could have been 

I’m not moving but I keep on wondering 
How could I get hurt today? 
The brakes are on my heart is racing 
How could I get hurt today? 
I’m not moving but I keep on wondering 
How could I get hurt today? 
The brakes are on my heart is racing 
How could I get hurt today? 

Wait for green 
Wait for green 
Wait for green 
Wait for green 
Then pull away 

Flash of feeling fills the mind, so visceral and pure 
With the sound of breaking glass in a molten metal cast 
From a moment dressed in peace to havoc’s great escape 
Smoke billows from the street when there’s no one there to see 
The face against the wheel and all that’s yet to be
