7/29/2000 alternate lyrics

Oh, now just look at how she listens
she says not a thing of what she thinks
she just listens and she dreams there
staring out onto Grey Street
she said, please
how did I come to this
I'm all on borders of life
and I've got none of this, hey

And then the rocks in her heart fall
and she see both the colors rain
but the colors mix together
to grey
and it breaks her heart

Some omnipotent indifference
she prays to God most every night
she knows well he doesn't listen
there's hope in her that he just might
she says, I pray
but they fall on deaf ears
I'm supposed to take it all myself
to get out of this place

She feels the hope in her heart swell
and she sees both right and blue
oh, and she thinks red blood goes pumping
through the lake and all there through
oh, but, but then the colors mix together
to grey
and she breaks her heart

Oh, the reaper man [???]
take what you can from your dreams
you can make them real as anything
it takes the work out of the courage
she said, please
there's a madman creeping outside my door
I live on the corner of Grey Street
and the end of the world

But then the romance in her heart swell
and she dreams by candlelight
oh she dreams neon night sign rolls up
she dreams better time in daylight
but when she walks out in the morning
won't see the sunlight
and all the colors mix together
to grey
and it breaks her heart
and the tears pour down
and it breaks her heart

Oh so, man it's open, says it's over
Wanna know man, wait in life
only [?] go, oh much further
till it breaks love may be right
[??] no no dream, don't worry
won't [?] when it's right
oh man she walks by, I don't know her
won't see her, yeah say light
but all the colors mix together
to grey
and it breaks her heart
to crazy
to grey, yeah
Grey Street
main lyrics
Oh, look at how she listens
she says nothing of what she thinks
she just goes stumbling through her memories
staring out onto Grey Street
she thinks, hey
how did I come to this?
I dreamed 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

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 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 a 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'd take the workd 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
it breaks her heart, yeah
rub-a-dub, rub-a-dub, rub-a-dub, rub-a-dub, rub-a-dub-dub, rub-a-dub, yeah
