THE LITTLE GREEN PILL (Mentzer)

The little green pill found it’s way into my pocket
On an evening just like this
The moon grinned slyly behind a big black cloud
And the pipes let out a little hiss
I wondered to my self “now, what the hell
Is this little green pill doing there,
In my pocket with all of my spare change,
A knife and a lock of your hair?”

Now the little green pill was in the palm of my hand
With a promise I meant to keep
The moon laughed out loud from behind his old cloud
And the floors began to creak
I wondered to myself “now what would happen if I had a little sip of diet coke?”
Then all of a sudden that pill was gone
I felt a little lump in the back of my throat

Solo

Little green pill
