7/13/2000 alternate lyrics
Oh just look at how she listens
she says nothing of what she thinks
she just listens to the music, the light
she stares out on to this grey street
she thinks, hey
how did I come to this?
I live on the corner of lies
I'd love to bring an end to this
Oh but then the hope in the heart falls
and she thinks of fading light
and the colors mix together
to grey
to wake her up
Someone in powerful indifference
she prays to god most every night
though she believes he doesn't listen
there's hope in her that he just 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
Then the hope she remembers
and the light comes cold and black
all the pain can do her wrong
she dies deep into her past oh
then the colors mix together
to grey
and it wakes her up
She hears the voices outside her door
take what you can from your dreams
make them as real as anything
it'll take the work out of the courage you need
she said, please
there's a madman creeping outside my door.
I live on the corner of grey street
and the end of the world
But then [???]
she feels older then she did that night
and then remembers her favorite red dress riding
higher than she rode up rounding high
oh man I swear she thinks she's the world
walking along the light
when all the colors mix together
to grey
please break her out
please break me out
please wake me up
[?]
Then the hope rots in her river
she walks through the water rise
the stars bright in the middle of her day now
and the blue sky rains down its might
oh shes swimming in her breath there
as she dives deep in her life
rolled up and rolling
all the worries
only her yeah
all the colors mix together
to grey
please wake us up
please break us out
on 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
