"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)
