6/26/2000 alternate lyrics

Oh little Jimmy's been a bad boy again
he said never waltz this way
he beat that kid with the violin again
says, boy you better not play that around me
the boy said, yea
you could pound me into ground beef
but I'm gonna sing it all night long
whether you like it or not

And then the rocks in Billy's heart falls
and he feels his empty cries
when all the colors mix together
to grey
and wake him up

There's a powerful indifference
we pray to God most every night
although we know he doesn't listen
there's hope in each of us he might
we say, I pray
but they fall on deaf ears
we're supposed to take on ourselves
to make out in this place

Then the rocks in our heart fall
and the pain grows out of sight
and it seems angry's the only way to roll
rock aloud and keep alive
oh but then the colors mix together
to grey
and wake us up

Oh then is someone outside
an old man says, let me tuck your dreams
make it real as anything
it'll 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

But then the rocks, the rain go over
and now she sees the one way round
no matter how she goes around finding answers
no pot of gold to be found
what but the walking and the trouble
we'll only see light
but all the colors mix together
to grey
to wake me up
to break us out
to break us out

Oh and no colors on the [?]
still the blue sky sinks to grey
oh and purple rains in his ocean
and trees wound up in their waves
oh out me down, me down in the heart wore
oh out in the wave is dumb luck
oh this one man might would show her
only then, yeah, night
but all the colors mix together
to grey
to wake us up
please wake us 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
