Текст песни: Neil Young. Greendale. Devil's Sidewalk.

:
"When the red light shines
On the streets of hate
Where the devil dines
Who knows what he ate

It's a simple thing
Trying to stay afloat,"
The captain said
Without his boat

"Some things are getting better
Other things a little worse
It's a situation
Much like a curse

It's the devil's sidewalk (Greendale)
It's the devil's door (Greendale)
I try to avoid it," (Greendale)
Said the captain of the shore (Greendale)

"There's a garden growing (Greendale)
And a million weeds (Greendale)
With no way of knowing (Greendale)
Who has done which deed" (Greendale)

"That's an honest tale,"
Said the helmsman to the mate,
"about a woman delicious
And a matter of fate"

Big wheel's still rolling
Down on me
One thing I can tell you
Is you got to be free

John Lennon said that
And I believe in love
I believe in action
When push comes to shove

"Who cares what you believe,"
Said the captain amazed,
"If you stood in my shoes
Your eyes would be glazed"

So my fair damsel (Greendale)
Won't you take your leave (Greendale)
Are you headed for the country (Greendale)
Where you wear the green sleeve (Greendale)

And the children laugh (Greendale)
And the old folks sing (Greendale)
And the church bells toll (Greendale)
For a miraculous thing (Greendale)

Where the big red furnace (Greendale)
Just glows and glows (Greendale)
Where the big heart beats (Greendale)
Where the big wheel rolls (Greendale)
