She just woke up, but she's still tired
Is that the telephone ringing?
The curtains can't hold back the light
That's reaching into her dreams
Down in her heart
If it had fingers, it'd be tearing it apart
You be lookin' groovy
In a sixties movie
Maybe tell the press you died
Little legend baby
Try your very best to hide
A green-tinted sixties mind
She keeps some memories locked away
But they are always escaping
neclgect won't make them fade away
They're reaching into her dreams
Down in her heart
Don't need fingers to be tearing it apart
Gotta face the day
There is no other way
To clear the fog inside your mind
Fill it up with dreams
But all that you can seem to find
A green-tinted sixties mind
Hangin' out with Janis
Movin' to Atlantis
Could've made it if you tried
What's the point of force
It's easy as a horse to ride
A green-tinted sixties mind
You be looking groovy
In a sixties movie
Maybe tell the press you died
Little legend baby
Try your very best to hide
A green-tinted sixties mind
-U can't hide-
Is that the telephone ringing?

Try your very best to hide

No it isn't about pot. Sorry. The green tint is the movie screen filters and tints of the 60s. Mr. Big even mentioned this in an interview. You know, how 1960s films have a green tint to them. Yet, really, this is a tribute to the 60s famous women / actresses. Of course, the biggest being Marilyn Monroe. The hint is "she just woke up, but she's still tired," "maybe tell the press you died." It's their semi-sorta version of "Candle in the Wind," and how she was just a little engine for the machines of Hollywood.
