7/19/2000 alternate lyrics
Oh just look at how she listens
she says nothing of what she thinks
she quietly listens and she muses
staring out onto Grey Street
she thinks, hey
how did I come to this
what is this meaningless life
I found it up in love lights
She remembers the love and old hands
and the tightly sewn raging ride
and the colors mix together
to grey
and breaks her heart
Oh, the rain pours down all over
the flooding hasn't really stopped
it's as if oceans have come to loss
to take the dry world all the cost
we think, wait
what if it deepens along
maybe there's a Noah here among us
who can build a great big ark for all of us
Oh, but then the rocks in her heart fall
and she rode like no one prayers
oh she wishes oh maybe it's over
but the rain just stole ahead
oh man, she rode her love together
to grey
and breaks her heart
Oh there's a crazy man who's gone inside
take what you can from your dreams
scrub the wetness from your eyes
and it'll be over as soon as it sinks
she said, please
there's a madman creeping outside my door
I live on the corner of Grey Street
it's at the end of the world
Oh, but the rain just kept on growing
soon land would disappear
oh, just the last mountain peaks like islands
out of everyone crowded here
out on the rooftops we will scurry
and the morning, say light
and all the colors mix together
to rain
to wake us up
to rain
to rake us up
Oh and alone there soon is daylight
when there's nothing left all dry stand
just a few last paddling survivors
while the road out looking for land
oh man soon the road round the rain go over
and the dark rolled up inside
what if this water doesn't leave us
won't love her, yeah say light
but all the colors mix together
to rain
to wake us up
and wake us up
and rain, 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
