6/22/2000 alternate lyrics
Oh, look at how she listen
oh, staring out onto the street
she just looks at all the abuses
and says nothing of what she thinks
she says, hey
how did I come to this?
I see it all in a thousand miles
no way to cross through this
But then the rocks in her heart fall
evidence she woke the light in
and the colors mix together
to grey
to wake her up
Oh this is [?] of indifference
though she prays to God most every night
and though she swears he doesn't listen
there's hope in her that he just might
she says, I pray
but my prayers fall on deaf ears
I'm supposed to take it on myself
to get the hell out of this place
And but the rocks in her heart fall
and the hope seems to slip away
she's drunk now just trying to get over
all the things that led her astray
but look the colors mix together
to grey
to wake her up
Oh, the noises creeping outside
he says take what you can from your dreams
you can make them real as anything
it'll take the work out of your courage
she said, please
there's a crazy man standing outside my door
I live on the corner of a dead-end street
feels like the end of the world
Then the rocks up in her heart [?]
and the mouth's just dry as light
and the notion she'll escape it
becomes more obscure than she'd like
oh, and the rock men in her hallway
will leave her through white
and the colors mix together
to grey
and wake her up
please wake her up
wake her up
Oh, and then the locks on are breaking
oh, remembering her childhood days
and the plans or words of her father
ignore your courage, ignore your pain
and then she goes out in the morning
oh, and leave your weighted [???]
[???] age your worry
won't leave her, yeah [?]
but the colors mix together
to grey
please break her out
to wake her up
to wake, 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
