When the red light shines On the streets of hate Where the devil dines Who knows what he ate It's a simple thing Trying to stay afloat, The captain said Without his boat Some things are getting better Other things a little worse It's a situation Much like a curse It's the devil's sidewalk (Greendale) It's the devil's door (Greendale) I try to avoid it, (Greendale) Said the captain of the shore (Greendale) There's a garden growing (Greendale) And a million weeds (Greendale) With no way of knowing (Greendale) Who has done which deed (Greendale) That's an honest tale, Said the helmsman to the mate, About a woman delicious And a matter of fate Big wheel's still rolling Down on me One thing I can tell you Is you got to be free John Lennon said that And I believe in love I believe in action When push comes to shove Who cares what you believe, Said the captain amazed, If you stood in my shoes Your eyes would be glazed So my fair damsel (Greendale) Won't you take your leave (Greendale) Are you headed for the country (Greendale) Where you wear the green sleeve (Greendale) And the children laugh (Greendale) And the old folks sing (Greendale) And the church bells toll (Greendale) For a miraculous thing (Greendale) Where the big red furnace (Greendale) Just glows and glows (Greendale) Where the big heart beats (Greendale) Where the big wheel rolls (Greendale)
