7/12/2000 alternate lyrics
Oh just look at how she listen
but she says nothing of what she thinks
oh, she just listens to the same old thing
running out onto Grey Street
she says, he
how did I come to this
oh, it labors on my life
I'm in this emptiness
But then the rocks in her heart fall
and she feels the weight of life
all the colors mix together
to grey
to break her out
Oh, alone in that indifference
she prays to God most every night
although she swears he doesn't listen
there's hope in her that he just might
and she said, I pray
but they fall on deaf ears
I'm supposed to take it on myself
to get out of this place
Then the rocks in her heart fall
and she feels both weight and light
oh and heaviness floats out of her
and she sinks to sign up the sunlight
and the colors mix together
to grey
Although loneliness it brings this
she notices her lovers eyes
make it real as anything
it takes 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
it's at the end of the world
But then the rope from her tightens
and the wings can make her fly
out of bright light she falls to blackness
out of colors both black and white
oh man, have no doubt in the worry
only love, say light
but all the colors mix together
to grey
please wake her up
please break her out
then wake her up
And then the wrong and the rage is over
oh, anger comes laughing loud
oh no, hatred turns into loving
and out of nighttime the soul is found
oh my man, flowers bloom in the desert
only hope can come from blood
oh and worn down in your worry
won't leave her, yeah, say light
all the colors mix together
to grey
and wake us up
to wake her love
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
