Every time I see you passing by 
I see something I've never seen before 
And every time I think I'm gonna fly 
I find someone to hold me down some more

And its wonderful to slip 
On this street so easily 
So I don't know what you mean 
Paint the tree green 

When you go you know I'm gone with you 
All I want is to leave this mess behind 
And they don't know building ladders to the moon 
Will keep them from you, almost every single time 

And its wonderful to slip 
On this street so easily 
Paint the tree green

You paint the tree green 
Aahh, you paint the tree green 

Every time I see you passing by 
I am someone I'll never be again 
And it was wonderful to slip 
On this street I'd never seen 
Now they can't do a thing 

But paint the tree green 
Now it's not what it seems 
I don't know what you mean now
Paint the tree green 

You paint the tree green 
You paint the tree green 
You paint the tree green
Aahh, you paint the tree green
