I woke up
In an Emerald City
Everything was covered in roses
And the roses were covered in sores
(I don’t know who I am anymore)

I saw the weak person that I used to be
Reflecting at me
In a million stained glass mirrors
I’ll tell you more about him soon

Everybody comes to the Emerald City
To get something that they think they’re missing
You take one look and your brain gets lost
Inside the green glow

Inside the green glow
Oh

I got my start as a scarecrow
I put a little paper bag on my head and I put on a show
But I had no brain
Drowning in excess and delusions of fame

Then I was a drunken lion
Too afraid to use his claw
And I turned into a little monkey
In the service of the wicked fascist witch

Everybody comes to the Emerald City
To get something that they think they’re missing
You take one look and your brain gets lost
Inside the green glow

Inside the green glow

Everybody comes to the Emerald City
To get something that we think we’re missing
We take one look and our brain gets lost
Inside the green glow
