Green Eye’d Monsta
[Intro]
"O, beware, my lord, of jealousy;
It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock
The meat it feeds on"
[Verse 1]
She said, "It never rains here
The smoke needs to clear the air
It's good being on the same page
With a city full of lions caged"
[Pre-Chorus]
I'd like to be my old self again
I'm frantic, I'm anxious
Strugglin' to get myself out of the blankets
Darlin', it was good
I was so bloody high
I was the queen
And now I'm just a
[Chorus]
I'm a green-eyed monster
Green-eyed monster
I can't get you off my mind
I can't get you off my mind
(Off of my mind
Off of my mind)
[Verse 2]
I visit her
Are you babe?
La la land is just a grave
This past year was a disaster
I've got some wretched friends

Stabbed in the back too many times
Turned on the dimes
Take my place in line
People trying so hard to make it look like they ain't tried at all
[Chorus]
I'm a green-eyed monster
Green-eyed monster
I can't get you off my mind
I can't get you off my mind
(Off of my mind
Off of my mind)
[Bridge]
I'd like to be my old self again
I'm frantic, I'm anxious
Strugglin' to get myself out of the blankets
Darlin', it was good
I was on top of the world
I was the queen
And now I'm just a
[Chorus]
I'm a green-eyed monster
Green-eyed monster
I can't get you off my mind
I can't get you off my mind
(Off of my mind
Off of my mind)
[Outro]
"He who fails to heed the lessons of history
Is doomed to repeat its mistakes"
