Lyrics:
Green Light [Version (a)]:

I kneel before the green light
Of her singing crayon eyes
And then I kiss her stomach
And then I realize
Her light is the night
I'm not blind
I believe in you
I see a green light

I kneel before the green light
Of her singing crayon eyes
And then I kiss her stomach
And then I realize
Her light is the night
I'm not blind
I believe in you
I see a green light

I see a green light
 
The Song:

"Green Light" is originally a song by Sonic Youth, from their album Evol.

Beck covered all of Evol for some sort of Sonic Youth box set, but it has never been released or leaked or anything. However, Beck and Sonic Youth did release "Green Light" as a single (the b-side was Sonic Youth covering Pay No Mind"). So far, it is the only track from the project we have heard. (Beck did cover "Star Power in concert once.)

The original "Green Light" is a fairly typical SY track, based around a churning electric guitar riff, which builds and builds into a climax of guitars. Beck deconstructs that though, turning it into a hypnotic acoustic guitar piece.
