Oh, just look at how she listens
she's saying nothing of what she thinks
she just listens to her memories
staring out into the street
but she thinks, hey
how did I come to this
I've dreamt myself a thousand times around the world
but I can't get out of this place
It's like rocks in her heart fall
and she feels both weight and life
and the colors mix together
to grey
she breaks her heart
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 this on myself
to get out of this place
Oh, just like rock in her heart fall
evidence she rode the light in
and the red blood running through her
feels like cold blue ice in her veins
and the colors mix together
to grey
oh, and it breaks her heart
There's some voices from outside her door
said, 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
there's a madman creeping outside my door
I live on the corner of Grey Street
and the end of the world
Oh, like rocks in her heart fall
evidence she's late in life
and the red blood flowing through her
feels like cold blue ice in her veins
though and wake up in the morning
and feeling, say light
but all the colors mix together
to grey
and it breaks her up
it breaks her up
it breaks her up
Oh, and like rock in her heart fall
evidence she rode the light in
and though red rain runs right through her
it feels like cold blue ice in her veins
and it's lonely down in the heart, love
but it runs right out of rain
when all this holding of the hurry
wanna leave her, yeah say light
but all the colors mix together
to grey
and breaks her heart
it breaks her heart
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
rub-a-dub, rub-a-dub-dub
