6/17/2001 alternate lyrics
Oh just look at how she listens
quiet as a church mouse, sits and thinks
but she doesn't want to be a princess
staring out onto Grey Street
she thinks, hey
how did I come to this
I dreamt myself a million times around the world
but I can't get out of this place
As if the fog rolled heavy on her
and all the brightness turns ?
when all the colors mix together
to grey
and it breaks her heart
Oh the [?] of her memories
she thinks when she was just a little girl
she loves to be a little lady
wearing her red dress for the world
she thinks, hey
how did I come to this
I dreamed myself a million miles around the world
but I can't get out of this place
As if the fog rolled heavy on her
and the brightness turned to grey
and although it's red blood bleeding from her
it felt like cold blue ice in her head
and all the colors mix together
to grey
oh and it breaks her heart
Oh [?] a noisy voice from 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
and she thinks, hey
there's a crazy man that's creeping outside my door
I'm on the corner of Grey Street
and the end of the world
Oh as if the fog rolled heavy on her
and all the brightness turned to grey
although it's red blood bleeds now from her
it felt like cold blue ice in her head
when she walks out in the morning
all the colors so bright
but all the colors mix together
to grey
and it breaks her heart
and it tears her apart
oh it breaks her heart
As if the fog rolls heavy on her
and all the brightness fades to grey
and although it's red blood bleeding from her
it feels like cold blue ice in her head
oh now it's lonely down in her heart, sure
and she wants her lover's kiss
although it's no one that simply [?]
won't leave her, yeah say light
when all the colors mix together
to grey
and it breaks her heart
it breaks her heart
to grey, to grey, to grey, yeah, oh

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
