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 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" There's an emptiness inside her And she'd 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 Oh, but they fall on deaf ears Am I supposed to take it on myself To get out of this place?" Oh, there's an 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, speaks outside her door Says, "Take what you can from your dreams Make them as real as anything Oh, it'll take the work out of the courage" But she says "Please, there's a crazy 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 Oh, it breaks her heart To grey Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, now Ah, ah, ah, ooh, ooh It breaks her heart Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah La-da-da La-da-da La-da-da, la-da-da, la-da-da La-da-da Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
