6/30/2000 alternate lyrics
I wonder why is it we listen
oh, to the [???]
to the toast of [?] politicians
there's nothing there for us to [?leave / leaf?]
we think, hey
how did we come to this?
it seems we had it all laid out
to get out of this place
But then the rocks in our heart fall
evidence he won't lay down
look, the colors mix together
to grey
on Grey Street
Oh, omnipotent indifference
we pray to God most every night
although we swear he doesn't listen
we're hoping that he just might
we say, why pray
but they fall on deaf ears
we're supposed to take it on ourselves
to make it out of this place
But then the rocks in our heart roll
and the lonely steals our [?life / light?]
singing, don't worry babe, it's gone now
it's only the [?] the [?] of night
oh, but the colors mix together
to grey
break me out
Oh, the [???] outside her door
says, take what you can from your dreams
make them as real as anything
it'll take the work out of the courage
she says, please
there's a crazy man sleeping outside my door
I live on the corner of Grey Street
and the end of the world
Oh, but the rocks in her heart fall
and she dreams of easy times
thinks of laughter rolling out of her
thinks of all those better lives
but oh I rode out in the morning
won't leave her say light
and the colors mix together
to grey
to wake us up
please wake us up
to wake us up
Oh, then now hope seems it's sinking
but in the distance I see a light
oh, hope maybe that he'll find his way down here
you drove up and the past is bright
oh man, you know it's lonely down in the heart now
and the woman [???]
this hope is on your shoulder
will leave her, yeah
all the colors mix together
to grey
on Grey Street
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
