look at that green   out through the screen   after a quick rain came   so fast that   there wasn't time   to roll up the windows   and pull the clothes down off the line   but i don't care   it was so dry   and the grass is happy   and i think 'so am i'   'cause i'm through thinking about you      for now i'm out at the hideout   far enough outside of town   you can come   you can stay   if there's something you need   to get away from      look at the day dropping away   hear the traffic pass along   a distant sideroad down the way   i think the dust has settled on me   but i don't care, it was so calm   i knew i wouldn't stay forever   knew i'd get some things together   and move on      but for now i'm out at the hideout   far enough outside of town   you can come, you can stay   if there's something you need   to get away from      i just thought of you   and what you said   laid out on the pullout   did you forget?   you said you wouldn't forget      look at that green   out through the screen   after a quick rain came   so fast that   there wasn't time to roll up the window   and pull the clothes down off the line   but i don't care   it was so dry   the grass is happy and i think 'so am i'   'cause i'm through thinking about you      and for now i'm out at the hideout   far enough outside of town   you can come out   you can come out   when there is no one around   all out at the hideout   far enough from being found   you can come, you can stay   if there's something you need   to get away from
