Daniel Romano - Green Eye-Shade Lyrics

A wonder of wit
Had the monocrat clipped
And that what was common
Is sunk in the mud

For those who don't fit
Felt the symmetry slip
No more for the marksman
They bandage their blood

Oh, green eye-shade
In a new dawning hour
Through a mad reverie
Bore the eyes of the kingdom
Oh, green eye-shade
In the fall of all power
Rose a clear alchemy
Of green eye-shade

And he who was ruling
Is no more returning
A splint in the temper
A bloom through the snow

No leaders are fooling
The energy's burning
And as they take centre
A sight to bestow

Oh, green eye-shade
In a new dawning hour
Through a mad reverie
Bore the eyes of the kingdom
Yeah, green eye-shade
In the fall of all power
Rose a clear alchemy
Of green eye-shade

The fallen opposer
Who lost in a bubble weight
Match with a rebel
Their shame to undue

And shed from the shoulders
Heads full of vile-hate
Roll from a temple
Too old to be true

Oh, green eye-shade
In a new dawning hour
Through a mad reverie
Bore the eyes of the kingdom
Yeah, green eye-shade
In the fall of all power
Rose a clear alchemy
Of green eye-shade
Yeah, green eye-shade
In a new dawning hour
Through a mad reverie
Bore the eyes of the kingdom
Oh, green eye-shade
In the fall of all power
Rose a clear alchemy
Of green eye-shade
