8/23/2000 alternate lyrics
Oh, look at how she listens
says nothing of what she thinks
she just listens to her memories
staring out onto the street
but she thinks, hey
how did I come to this
I've dreamt a million times around the world
but I can't get out of this place
Then like the rocks in her heart fall
she feels the weight of life
when all the colors mix together
to grey
and it breaks her up
Oh, omnipotent indifference
she prays to God most every night
although she swears he doesn't listen
there's hope in her that he just might
she says, I pray
oh, but they fall on deaf ears
I'm supposed to take it all on myself
to find a way out of this place
Just like the rocks in her heart fall
evidence she's feeling pain
although red blood flows in through her
it feels like cold ice through her veins
oh and then the colors mix together
to grey
and it breaks her heart
There's some voices coming outside her door
take what you can from your dreams
make them as real as anything
it'll take the work out of your courage
she said, please
there's a madman screaming outside my door
I live on the corner of Grey Street
and the end of the world
And then the rocks in her heart fall
evidence she feeling right
oh, as the red blood rains right through her
it feels like cold ice in her blood
walk out when she wake up in the morning
did she feel her sun rise
when all the colors mix together
to grey
and it breaks her heart
it breaks her heart
it breaks her heart
Now the rope wrapped in her heart falls
and she feels the weight of life
just like the red blood running through her
feels like cold blue ice tonight
oh, when the lonely down in her heart now
and rain [???]
life seems heavy on my shoulders
won't leave her, yeah
but all the colors mix together
to grey
and it break her heart
it breaks her heart
it break 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
rub-a-dub, rub-a-dub-dub
