Green Light

I remember when the first rem record
 Had me blowing off Shakespeare
 For a shooting star and a bass guitar
 I remember exchanging all that fervor
 For a postmodern method
 To practice war in a coffee bar
 I remember all the ways I evaded my heart
 And told that girl she would not be mine
 I remember receiving her letter that said
 "Wake up, little boy
 Before you lose your lifeline
 Here's to the rise and the fall"
 What feels so wrong turns out alright
 What feels so right
 Can turn a green light to a yellow light
 What feels so wrong turns out alright
 What feels so right
 Can turn a yellow light to a red light
 Red light
 I was busy avoiding obligation
 Imagined myself as the next man in town
 To wear a crown of absolute adulation
 'Cause if everybody knows you
 Then you've reached the high crowd
 But love can get lost on that cloud
 What feels so wrong turns out alright
 What feels so right
 Can turn a green light to a yellow light
 What feels so wrong turns out alright
 What feels so right
 Can turn a yellow light to a red light
 Turn a red light to a green light
 Green light
 Green light
 Hey, have you heard the new world record?
 Sounds like we're ready to release and unwind
 All that wisdom that's been hiding in the open
 Since the beginning of myth
 Since the first note of time
 What feels so wrong turns out alright
