A Certain Shade of Green Lyrics

By Incubus

WHAT?! WHAT?! WHAT?! WHAT?!
WHAT?! WHAT?! WHAT?! WHAT?!
WHAT?! WHAT?! WHAT?! WHAT?!

A certain shade of green
Tell me is that what you need
All signs around say move ahead
Someone please explain to me
Your ever present lack of speed

Are your muscles bound by ropes
Or do crutches cloud your day
My sources say the road is clear
And street signs point the way

You gonna stand around 'till twenty-twelve A.D.?
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR, A CERTAIN SHADE OF GREEN?!
I think I grew a gray watching you procrastinate
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR, A CERTAIN SHADE OF GREEN?!

Would a written invitation
Signed: "choose now or lose it all"
Sedate your hesitation
Or inflame and make you stall?

You've been raised in limitations
But that glove never fit quite right
The time has passed for hand-me-downs
Choose a new; please evolve; take flight

You gonna stand around 'till twenty-twelve A.D.?
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR, A CERTAIN SHADE OF GREEN?!
I think I grew a gray watching you procrastinate!

Green! What are you waiting for?

What are you waiting for?
A written invitation?
A public declaration?
A private consolation?
Remember when you procrastinate you chose last

I think I grew a gray watching you pro-
-CRASTINATE!!!

You gonna stand around 'till twenty-twelve A.D.?
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR, A CERTAIN SHADE OF GREEN?!
I think I grew a gray watching you procrastinate

Hey!
(What are you waiting for?)
Hey!
(What are you waiting for?)
Hey!
What are you waiting for?
(Hey)
What are you waiting for?
(Hey)
What are you waiting for?...
(Hey)...
