Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sir Greendown
Come wake me in the night
The dragon wants a bite of our love
[Verse 2]
The flower in the golden hand
Wooden wings and clouds of sand
Sir Greendown
[Verse 3]
Sir Greendown
Let's leave in an hour
Meet me at the tower
Ride your horse
[Verse 4]
Here the dolphins walk like men
Here the cyborgs have a plan
Sir Greendown
I need your shining light
[Verse 5]
Let's leave in an hour
Meet me at the tower
I'm in love
Written by: Charles Joseph II, Janelle Monáe Robinson, Nathaniel Irvin III
