Dinosaur Jr. - Green Mind

Dinosaur Jr. - Green Mind
An excellent song by Dinosaur Jr., a very influential alternative rock band, from their 1991 Album of the same name. It's about a guy who has to choose between his smoking buddies and his girlfriend.

I picture things a certain way
Then go back to it another day
The green mind said its okay.

Cause you know where theyre gonna be
Alls you have to do is come with me
Its cool, theyre probably asleep.

On the outside
Thats where they always hide
Come to my side
And Ill introduce you to
Some of their kind
I know youve always tried
And now its your time to take in their point of view
Its nothing new.

I've been bouncing off the walls
I cant hang with them for long
Theyre cool, but I need you
On a certain level I think theyre great
But on another I cant relate
To anything they do.

On the outside
Might be with them tonight
Unless you decide to call then Ill check out you, babe

Hangin heavy's such a routine
Ive just begun to forget why I seldom n' try to break out of their scene
And now I Gotta work on you
So the frogs'll hang and theyll always be hangin
Now were here, what do we do?

Ive been sortin through the pros and cons of your eyes, theyre webbed toes
Cant you help move it along?
I been pickin through my thoughts
Its a shame my judgement rots
And I sure feel where I belong.

On the outside
Well itll be a while
I gotta unfry fore I pick it up with you, help me

Do I need that stable care?
Dont I know that theyll be there
Does that cut now youve appeared?
Or do I need that stable core?
Or do I jump for something more?
Are you all that I fear? Tell me

I been pickin through my thoughts
Its a shame my judgement rots
And I sure go where I belong.
Its a call thats tough to make
It could be a big mistake
Cant you help move it along?
If I keep stewin bout how I feel
Eventually you'll split, then I wont have to deal
Sounds like a plan
But its kind of lame to let it slide
Knowin either way I havent tried
Cant figure out where it all stands
In the green mind

some kid was asking for his band if there were any cool songs, he's a total classic rock head and has no respect for punk/alternative, but i sent him this song and told him to play it, and he did, and now the dino jr name is going around my school. its my master plan. ive also gotten like half the kids in my grade familiar with operation ivy just by wearing their shirt a lot

ive been trying pretty hard to spread dinosaur but unfortunately i have failed for the most part. people dont seem to appreciate his amazing dynamic style... I have succeeded in annoying the shit out of my roommates though, they are starting to clear out every time i pick up my guitar or laptop and play dino... :/  dumb bastards.

This reminds me of the 90's I know and LOVE!!!! Makes me think about picking a chick over my friends. Guess what? My friends still have my back and shes gone. GOD bless you guys!!!! Cheers to the GREEN MIND. Man I feel like getting stoned. Haha.......
