LYRICS:

A fortune teller with a name I don’t remember
She said were you born in May or maybe September
Honey don’t you wanna know what your stars are tellin’
And I said please, please, won't you tell me

She gave me something I didn’t know I needed
It took a walk down the street to realize I stopped dreaming
I gave her all my cash and walked around the corner
Sipping on my old coffee and thinkin’ it all over

I’ve been stuck in this apartment, summer’s flying by
No use wishin’ things were different sitting here inside

Oh oh oh
The car ain’t gonna go no no
Unless I push the pedal down
You see green lights are all around

Call me crazy, an optimist maybe
Well I tried it the other way and where did it get me
If you keep doing what you do
You keep getting what you get
Over and over and over again

No use wishin’ things were different sitting here inside

Oh oh oh
The car ain’t gonna go go go
Unless I push the pedal down
You see green lights are all around

Oh oh oh
The car ain’t gonna go go go
Unless I push the pedal down
You see green lights are all around

Oh oh oh
The car ain’t gonna go go go
Unless I push the pedal down
You see green lights
