"Green Dragon" lyrics

On the back of his bike
Circling Shanghai
Taking blurry pictures
Of all the street signs
My own room at the Marriott
Skipping pennies in the koi pond

A bowling alley in the basement
I put up the bumpers and came in third place
Couple of kids from the American school came
Don't think they knew it was my birthday

If you ever want to know, I'll tell you
If you need to let it go, I'll try
I'm not the best at playing nice and telling white lies
But I'm always on your side

Packed our bags again
Not knowing why
Missing our friends and the stones
On Turtle Island
Playing hangman, getting car sick
Making lava out of carpet

Hooked On Phonics, easy readers
Electronic TV teachers
Falling asleep at the theater
Waking up right when he leaves her

If you ever want to know, I'll tell you
If you need to let it go, I'll try
I'm not the best at playing nice and telling white lies
But I'm always on your side

Hey Mr. Manners, how you feeling?
I know it hurt, but is it healing?
You don't remember enough to miss it
The places I go, you can't visit

If you ever want to know, I'll tell you
If you need to let it go, I'll try
I'm not the best at playing nice or telling white lies
But I'm always on your side
Yeah, I'm always on your side
