6/27/2000 alternate lyrics
Oh look at how she listens
and says nothing of what she thinks
and silently listen to abuses
while she stares out into the street
she thinks, hey
how did I come to this
I swear I had the dreams of a million children once
but they've all faded did they
But then the rocks in her heart fall
and she feels the weight of life
and the colors mix together
to grey
to wake her up
Oh, such a powerful indifference
we pray to God most every night
although we swear he doesn't listen
there's just a hope in us he might
she said, I pray
but they fall on deaf ears
I'm supposed to take life on myself
lift myself out of this place
And look the rocks in her heart stone
without a hope we'll make this right
wander lately down in the heart of us
so we both pray she's right
oh, but then the colors mix together
to grey
and wake her up
Oh [???]
take what you can from your dreams
make them as real as anything
it'll take the work out of the courage
she said, please
I hear voices creeping outside my door
I live on the corner of Grey Street
and the end of the world
Then the distance between my head and my heart
gets longer it seems each day
she wants to follow dust down road to see
where that black car leads away
when love might notice always lovely
only love say light
but all the colors mix together
to grey
to wake us up
to break us out
to wake us out of it
But calmness only this time
it's a blink if you think you're alright
oh and my eyes rested from the sleeping
open up bleary, staring wide
oh then now hold me down in my heart now
when the window wait is one
I know not close up at the story
won't leave her, yeah light
and the colors mix together
to grey
and wake me up
then wake me up
and wake, yeah

Grey Street
main lyrics
[Busted Stuff version]
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 it doesn't listen
There's still a hope in her it 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"
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 speaks 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,
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"
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
It breaks her heart
To grey
[2000 Studio Sessions version]
Look at how she listens
she says nothing of what she thinks
just listens to her muses
and by the kitchen sink
she thinks, "Hey,
one little bit of this I've made in some life
how did it end like this?"
And the rocks in her heart fall
and she feels the weighted lines
and the colors mix together -- to grey
Grave Street
Bane of the difference
she prays to God most every night
although she swears he doesn't listen
there's hope in her that He just might
she said "I pray,
but they fall on deaf ears
I'm supposed to take it all myself
to get out of this place?"
And some rocks in her heart fall
and then she roped the light in
pain our date is over
and again she sees the pain
and the colors mix together -- to grey
on Grave Street
So cold it began
"take what you can from your dreams
make it real as anything
takes the work out of the courage"
she said, "Please
there's someone sleeping outside my door
I live on the corner of Grey Street
and the end of the world"
And the rock in the heartland
is as hopeless as the day she came
and the man she calls her father
ignores her and ignores her pain
when I walk out in the morning
will the lover say light
and the colors mix together -- to grey
on Grave Street
on Grave Street
this Grave Street, here go...
I said "look down at your heaven
don't convince yourself your done
just cause the things around you seem heavy
doesn't mean you can't get off this ground
and the lonely down in the heartland
move out as our way it's over
all my notice of your worries
will no longer ready lie"
and the colors mix together -- to grey
on Grave Street
on Grave Street
to grey
