A kind of fire seldom seen

Stepping into your machine

Hoping I can turn it on.

She dances all night and sleeps all day

Her room's a mess, her dad's away

She puts her heroes on the wall.

With her green light

Green light

To hold a faded flower to my chest

Green light, green light

Cause only faded flowers are the best.

She said the things you will expect

From magazines, her intellect

These are words I will forget

She likes the boys that sing the songs

Something wicked this way comes

I know I can sing along.

Just give me the green light

Green light

To hold a faded flower to my chest

Green light, green light

Cause underrated flowers are the best.

I was barely out of school.

She knew someone who I was with

I've never seen anything like her before

She is trouble

Exquisite trouble

I'm out of your league son

She seemed to say

And for a little while

She was.

Leave the light on

Leave the light on

Ohh ohh oh oh, ohh ohh oh oh...

Leave the light on

Just leave the light on

Ohh ohh oh oh, ohh ohh oh oh

Ohh ohh oh...

She gave me the green light

Green light

To hold the faded flower to my chest

She gave me the green light

Green light

Those overrated flowers are the best.

Cause only faded flowers are the best.
