5/8/2001 alternate lyrics
Oh, look at how she listens
she said not a thing of what she thinks
she just goes stumbling through her memories
watching out onto Grey Street
but she thinks, hey
how did I come to this
I dreamt myself a million miles around the world
but I can't get out of this place
And then the fog covers over
she can see just past the light
when the colors mix together
to grey
and it breaks her heart
Oh, the latest of [???]
the little red bicycle, the sign
oh, that the bell goes ring-a-ling-a-ling
oh, she wants so bad to go back down
she said, me
oh, but like red, red blue, my loving things
I dreamed a thousand miles around the world
but I can't get out of this place
As if the fog rolling over
came so heavy it felt like night
although when her hands were open
she couldn't see for all the right
and all the colors mix together
to grey
and it breaks her heart
She hears the voice from an old man 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 said, please
there's a crazy man creeping outside my door
I live on the corner of Grey Street
and the end of the world
Well then the fog rolls heavy on her
and she can't see for daylight
as though the darkness fills inside her
she can't make up all this life
oh, why this calling in the worry
won't see her, [?]
when all the colors mix together
to grey
and it breaks her heart
and it breaks her heart
and it breaks her heart
And then the fog roll heavy over
she feel the tear blowing inside
she can't see her way to recover
only one again lonely night
oh won't the [???] down on her
[???] feeling life [?]
[???] heavy sorrow on her
won't leave her, yeah hey light
when all the colors mix together
to grey
and it breaks her heart
on Grey Street
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
