"Green"
(written by Tanya Donelly)

Doghouse Cassette Version:
You built a city in my head
Then there were candles
And a phoenix burned my bed
These are subwords, these are air
There's one boy
In one house
In one place
At all times
And green eyes
I got no more
Who are you for?
I got no more
What is this?
I shouldn't be smoking this last cigarette
I feel sick now, and that's in your head
You took my house and burned it inside out
Kneel in my ashes
Eating them
There's one boy
In one house
In one place
At all times
And green eyes
I got no more
Who are you for?
I got no more
What is this?
And will you leave me again?
No
Tempest and tempest to knock at the moon
And the stars come out at night
What's that beyond the floor?
You were left screaming
My hands were in your hair
?
You built a city in my head
Then there were candles
And a phoenix, that was you in my bed
These are subwords, these are air
There's one boy
In one house
In one place
At all times
(There's one boy)
And green eyes
I got no more
Who are you for?
I got no more
What is this?
Smoke flows to the ceiling
It begins, there's a man dancing at me
He's making circles, so I will tell you now
I wear your clothes, I wear your clothes like armour
I love your face, I love your face like god
So you're in love and I'm indebted always
Green eyes
Until you leave me again
No

Album Version:
You built a city in my head
Then there were candles
And a phoenix burned my bed
These are subwords, these are air
There's one boy
In one house
In one place
At all times
And green eyes
I got no more
Who are you for?
I got no more
What is this?
I shouldn't be smoking this last cigarette
I feel sick now, it hurts in your head
You took my house and burned it inside out
Kneel in my ashes
Kneading them
There's one boy
In one house
In one place
At all times
And green eyes
I got no more
Who are you for?
I got no more
What is this?
And now you're leaving again, no
Temper and tempest to knock at the moon
And the stars come out at night
What's that beyond the floor?
You were left screaming
My hands were in your hair
?
You built a city in my head
Where are your candles?
And a phoenix, that was you in my bed
These are subwords, these are air
There's one boy
In one house
In one place
At all times
(There's one boy)
And green eyes
I got no more
Who are you for?
I got no more
What is this?
Smoke flows to the ceiling
It begins, there's a man dancing at me
He's making circles, so I will tell you now
I wear your clothes, I wear your clothes like armour
I love your face, I love your face like god
So you're in love and I'm indebted always
Green eyes
And now you're leaving again
No...
