The Green Manalishi (With the Two Prong Crown) Lyrics » Fleetwood Mac
Now, when the day goes to sleep and the full moon looks
The night is so black that the darkness cooks
Don’t you come creepin’ around
Makin’ me do things I don’t wanna do
Can’t believe that you need my love so bad
Come sneakin’ around tryin’ to drive me mad
Bustin’ in on my dreams
Makin’ me see things I don’t wanna see
‘Cause you’re da Green Manalishi with the two prong crown
All my tryin’ is up all your bringin’ is down
Just takin’ my love then slippin’ away
Leavin’ me here just tryin’ to keep from followin’ you

Green was reportedly angered by the other band members’ refusal to share their financial gains.
Also, he has explained that in a drug-induced dream he was visited by a green dog which barked at him. He understood that the dog represent money.
It scared me because I knew the dog had been dead a long time. It was a stray and I was looking after it. But I was dead and had to fight to get back into my body, which I eventually did. When I woke up, the room was really black and I found myself writing the song.
