8/25/2000 alternate lyrics
Oh, just look at how she listens
she says nothing of what she thinks
just suffers through her memories
staring out onto Grey Street
but she thinks, hey
how have I come to this
I dreamed a million miles around the world
but I can't move from this place
Just like the hope in her heart falls
and she feels the weight of life
when all the colors mix together
to grey
and it breaks her up
Some 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 says, I pray
oh, but they fall on deaf ears
I'm supposed to take it on myself
to get out of this place
Oh, just like the hopes in her heart fall
and she feels the weight of life
although red blood moves smooth through her
feels like cold ice in her blood
oh now the colors mix together
to grey
and it breaks her up
There's some voices come from outside her door
says, take what you can from your dreams
make them as real as anything
it'd take the work out of the courage
but she said, please
oh, there's a madman screaming outside my door
I live on the corner of Grey Street
and the end of the world
Oh, just like the loves in her heart fall
evidence she rode the light in
and though red blood bleeds out from her
feels like cold ice in her vein
how 'bout she woke up in the morning
won't see her, say light
but all the colors mix together
to grey
and it breaks her up
it breaks her up
and it breaks her up
Oh, but then the wrong in her heart flow
evidence she's seeing light
although red blood pours out from her
feels like cold ice in her veins
oh, now it's lonely down in her heart, love
and you [???] night
it's hopeless love a moment
won't see her, yeah
but all the colors mix together
to grey
and it breaks her heart
it breaks her heart
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
