Grey Streets

Grey streets and streets of grey Patrolled by knights from the invading day Closing eyelids stutter and tumble and turn away Makeshift memories they collide for another stay I was attracted to you because the forces were so blind And you were attracted to me Because my face smiled down from a wall And you said I looked kind Well hello it's me again I just called 'round to see my friend 'Cause when I'm talking to you can't you see that the world's aglow You're so semi-precious about life and you won't let your feelings show I was a photograph I was a picture on display You were so negative because once I owned the world But I gave it away I am here and you are there We are near so why should we care You almost wish you werw dying it would be an excuse to really live I sometimes wonder why 'cause you've got nothing left to give And I was attracted to you Because the forces were so blind And you were attracted to me Because my face smiled down from a wall And you said I looked kind.
