lyrics

Follow the sound through an open door.
Make your mark so you can make your way out to the shore.
There's no smile, no blushing in your cheek.
The royalty isn't even wearing anything.

You were wrong.
Lost in a world where everything belongs,
you've grown taller.

Where is it greener?
Where is it greener?
Focus your eyes on this side.

Follow the sound away from home.
But until then, you will never need to be alone.
There's no smile, no humor in the pose.
The royalty isn't even wearing any clothes.

You got lost.
Dried the ink before you wrote the note.
Nebraska kids on California coke.
You've grown taller.

Where is it greener?
Where is it greener?
Focus your eyes on this side.

There's another way into the water.

Get On with It
by BLACK LUCK

Black Luck is my band. We have three records and our fourth is on its way. It's very different from my solo stuff, but let's be honest. It's also WAY better. John Benda
