The title says it all, are the lyrics of I dream of green and Cycles available somewhere?

Here are the lyrics to "Dreams of Green" as written by me; that said, when performing it, I think Kim Boekbinder repeated a few lines and maybe improvised in some spots. I can transcribe the song if you want, but this should cover you:

Beneath the stars, the shining moon,
My closing eyes see skies of blue.
And sweet perfume of flowers' bloom,
Drifts through the dream I dream of you.

But then I wake and morning takes
my sweet green love away.

And as I rise, my hopes have died. . . .
Before my eyes are burning skies,
A world of brown without a sound
Save for my lonely lullabies.

As days go by, I long to sleep
And so to dream, and soon it seems,
I'll wake no more.
[I believe here she repeats "I'll wake no more."]

And in the dark, the endless dark,
Will be my heart
With dreams of green.
[I believe here she repeats "With dreams of green."]
Here are the lyrics to "Cycles," as written by Kim Boekbinder:

It doesn't matter if you don't know the way
You can still take a step, To stand still is to regret
[I believe as sung, she says "to stay still"]

If you know the way then you can keep
a map there in your mind where you can always find your past

The future engineered so perfectly,
no room for mistakes, the legacy of greatness

And in a world so loved, each precious thing
crumbling now to rust, we write our names in dust

A handful of memories like tiny seeds
throw them to the sky, grow a garden up on high

Round and round we go the wheel of fate
the revolution ends, the cycle begins again

[as sung, here, it echoes "the cycle begins again" several times]
Oh, thanks a lot! Been looking for this.

I can't stop looping Dreams of Green lately. It's just such a powerful song. But I couldn't make out the end of the "the endless dark / Will be my heart" line. Thanks for clearing it up :)

Glad you liked it! Writing the song was really fun. One of the most memorable elements of Full Throttle for me was the song in the trailer park -- not because the song is particularly moving, but it's so clever and it's just neat to have an original song that sort of hints at the state of pop culture in the world. Here, my thinking was that Dreams of Green was sort of a lament for the dying earth while there were still humans around who remembered what it was like before the last ecological collapse.

Anyway, thanks for your kind words, and I'm glad to be of service!
