Lyrics

Green Rubber Boots

I made a promise
I can't keep it
I'm wide awake now
I'm not sleepin'
I'm gonna take out the big boys
That's what I do best
I'm gonna break it on down and get this shit off my chest

I'm not in the mood for this ping-ponging around
I'm not building me up so you can break me down now
I'm layin' my cards face up on the table
My lickity-split, quick wit's young and able
Why'd I catch you hangin' at the CP gig?
Did you even have a clue into just what you did?
You think we're gonna go back to the way when w me?
It ain't gonna happen
This is just what you get

Cuz you can't expect the jockey to come right back
Especially when his horse has been kicked off the track
What did you expect, some compassion from me?
I was fine on my own
This is just what I need

I'm done beatin' my fists 'til my knuckles are purple
I'm not interested in expanding my friendship circle
It come down to this, the decision you make
I'm not goin' our for coffee unless it's a date

Schenectady
Electricity
It's about time we rethink

Keep the moment in the moment
Did I mention I made a promise
I can't keep it
I'm wide awake now
I'm not sleepin'
I'm gonna bust up the band that's been jammin' my mind
I got some tricks in the mix to keep it all on time
The street ain't gettin' crowded You can clean up the mess
Done takin shit from the man like I'm alive to impress
I'm takin times outta my day to get back to the roots
I feel the beat tapped out under my green rubber boots

Schenectady
Electricity
It's about time we rethink
Keep the moment in the moment

Did I mention it ain't up to me to keep the records in check
I've been dealin' out guilt since back the day that you left
It's time a lesson was learned to pick up and move on
One day I'll look back from the moon like Mr. Neil Armstrong

Schenectady
Electricity
It's about time we rethink
Keep the moment in the moment (did I mention?)
