7/30/2000 alternate lyrics
Oh, look at how she listens
she says not a thing of what she thinks
she list- love and inside dreaming
she stares out onto Grey Street
she thinks, hey
how did I come to this
I dreamt a thousand miles across the world
I feel like I haven't moved an inch here
And then the rocks in her heart roll
and like wings she waves them bright
but all the colors mix together
to grey
it breaks her heart
Oh, omnipotent indifference
she prays to God most every night
although she swears he doesn't listen
there's hope in her that he just might
she thinks, I pray
oh, but they fall on deaf ears
I'm supposed to take it on myself
to get out of this place
But then the hopes from her heart swell
and she remembers the sky rained in
oh, and bright lights all wet and all rain
like a rainbow swimming in
oh, but then the colors mix together
to grey
it breaks her heart
Oh, the sounds out beside her door
says, take what you can from your dreams
make it real as anything
it'd take the work out of your 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
Oh, but then the ropes in her heart fall
heavy winds into the blue so light
oh, and it's red blood wails inside her
and the hopes swells up to the red light
oh man, I know doubt in the morning
we won't leave her, say light
but all the colors mix together
to grey
it breaks her heart
oh, it breaks her heart
breaks her heart, run run run run
She rode like the road
and blue like black skies in
oh watch the yellow, red painted over
let the blackness fold you right in
oh man, now it's lonely down in the walkway
and the gentle wait is one wide
oh might hopeless on it's open
won't leave her, yeah say light
but all the colors mix together
to grey
when the rain come down
when the rain comes down
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
