6/27/2000 alternate lyrics
Oh look at how she listens
and says nothing of what she thinks
and silently listen to abuses
while she stares out into the street
she thinks, hey
how did I come to this
I swear I had the dreams of a million children once
but they've all faded did they
But then the rocks in her heart fall
and she feels the weight of life
and the colors mix together
to grey
to wake her up
Oh, such a powerful indifference
we pray to God most every night
although we swear he doesn't listen
there's just a hope in us he might
she said, I pray
but they fall on deaf ears
I'm supposed to take life on myself
lift myself out of this place
And look the rocks in her heart stone
without a hope we'll make this right
wander lately down in the heart of us
so we both pray she's right
oh, but then the colors mix together
to grey
and wake her up
Oh [???]
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
I hear voices creeping outside my door
I live on the corner of Grey Street
and the end of the world
Then the distance between my head and my heart
gets longer it seems each day
she wants to follow dust down road to see
where that black car leads away
when love might notice always lovely
only love say light
but all the colors mix together
to grey
to wake us up
to break us out
to wake us out of it
But calmness only this time
it's a blink if you think you're alright
oh and my eyes rested from the sleeping
open up bleary, staring wide
oh then now hold me down in my heart now
when the window wait is one
I know not close up at the story
won't leave her, yeah light
and the colors mix together
to grey
and wake me up
then wake me up
and 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
