Grey Street

Oh, look at how she listens

She says nothing

of what she thinks

She just goes stumbling

through her memories,

Staring out on to Grey Street

But she thinks, "Hey,

How did I come to this?

I dream myself a thousand times around

the world,

But I can't get out

of this place

Oh there's an emptiness inside her

And, she'll do anything to fill it in

But all the colors mix together

To grey!

And it breaks her heart

How she wishes it was different

She prays to God most every night

And though she swears

He doesn't listen

There's still a hope in her

He might

She says, "I pray

But they fall on deaf ears,

Am I supposed to take it

on myself?

To get out of this place" (yeah)

Oh there's there's loneliness inside her

And she'd do anything to fill it in

And though it's red blood bleeding from her now

It feels like cold blue ice in her heart

When all the colors mix together

to Grey!

And it breaks her heart

There's a stranger speaking

outside her door

Says take what you can

from your dreams

Make them as real as anything

It'd take the work out of the courage

But she says, "Please

man that's creeping outside my door,

I live on the corner of Grey Street

and the end of the world!"

Oh there's an emptiness inside her

And she'd do anything to fill it in

And though it's red blood bleeding from her now

It's more like cold blue ice in her heart

She feels like kicking out all the windows

And setting fire to this life

She could change everything about her,

using colors bold and bright

But all the colors mix together

to Grey!

And it breaks her heart

And it breaks her heart

It breaks her heart

To Grrrr-eeeeee-yyyyyyyyyy--yyyyyyyyyyyy!!!

Yeaaahhhhhhh-hhhhhhhhhh-hhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

Yeah, yeah, yeah-ah!
