Mr. Greenjeans, go and find her
Go and find your red-hot mama
I can use this duffel bag as a shelter from the sun
I don’t need loneliness but maybe she needs me
Like a woman tugging at my sleeve, I guess I’ll satisfy her.
Cast out on the corner, like a snail without a shell
Hard to say I’m doing well, but don’t worry I’m alright
Ain’t like me to cry and it ain’t like me to fight
Gotta snuff them feelings out if you want to feel alright.
Cast out on the corner like a bottle on the sea
Feeling hollow, feeling free, hey don’t worry I’m alright
Loneliness is starring with her eyes so hard and free
Tell me where are people running to when they run away from me?
Mr. Greenjeans, go and find her
Go and find your red-hot mama
I can use this duffel bag as a shelter from the sun
I don’t need loneliness but maybe she needs me
Like a woman tugging at my sleeve, I guess I’ll satisfy her.
Gotta keep your heart from shining; got to paint it black
Stuff it down and push it back to where the weeds and flowers grow
You ‘sposed to understand and not be understood
Put a satchel on your head and then just say you’re doing good.
This world I’m living in, do I need to understand her?
Is it my job to command her? is it my job not to cry?
Loneliness is watching with her eyes so hard and blue
Her face is like a saucer and it don’t let nothing through.
Mr. Greenjeans, go and find her
Go and find your red-hot mama
I can use this duffel bag as a shelter from the sun
I don’t need loneliness but maybe she needs me
Like a woman tugging at my sleeve, I guess I’ll satisfy her.
Cast out on the corner, like a snake without a heart
Slither painful through the alley, now I got me a fresh start
Get me some patches then I’ll be as good as new.
Sniffing out someone to save me for at least a day or two.
Mr. Greenjeans, don’t you worry I’ll be doing fine
You’ve got your life, I got mine; and you know I’ll be alright
Don’t waste your money, man, on something pink & blue
Better not begin to feed me or I might start needing you.
