"Greenest Of Stages" lyrics

I'm afraid in your greenest of stages
You misplayed this
You have done things wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong
I'm afraid in your greenest of stages
You misplayed this
You have done things wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong

Humility will benefit the ages
You misplayed this
And it will cause your fall, fall, fall, fall
I'm afraid in your greenest of stages
You misplayed this
You have done things wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong

Everything is smaller than it would seem
And now the universe is closing in on me
Put up, put up, put up, put up or shut up
Everything is smaller than it would seem
And now the universe is closing in on me
Put up, put up, put up, put up or shut up

I'm afraid in your greenest of stages
You misplayed this
You have done things wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong
And all the older guys are so homogenized
Into a pale imitation of what they were before, before, before, before
And those that stayed the course exhibit no remorse
But that was long ago, and it's time to move things on, on, on, on

I'm afraid in your greenest of stages
You misplayed this
You have done things wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong

Everything is smaller than it would seem
And now the universe is closing in on me
Put up, put up, put up, put up or shut up
Everything is smaller than it would seem
And now the universe is closing in on me
Put up, put up, put up, put up or shut up

It took a long time before I spoke
One day you close your eyes, and it's tomorrow
It took a long time when I decided not to wait until tomorrow
And I say this to you

I'm afraid in your greenest of stages
You misplayed this
You have done things wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong
And I have read of your plan to take this
To higher places, and I wish you well, well, well, well
But there's a flaw in your lack of planning
Or understanding, and now it won't be long, long, long, long

I'm afraid in your greenest of stages
You misplayed this
You have done things wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong

Everything is smaller than it would seem
And now the universe is closing in on me
Put up, put up, put up, put up or shut up
Everything is smaller than it would seem
And now the universe is closing in on me
Put up, put up, put up, put up or shut up

It's getting dark out, it's getting so dark out
It leaves you open, it's never quite this late
It's been a long time, it's been a long long time
Since I have spoken, when I've used my mouth

It's getting dark out, it's getting so dark out
It leaves you open, it's never quite this late
It's been a long time, it's been a long long time
Since I have spoken, when I've used my mouth
