Oh, look at how she listens
she's saying nothing of what she thinks
she just wanders through her memories
staring out onto Grey Street
but she thinks, hey
how did I come to this
I dreamed myself a million times around the world
but I can't get out of this place
As if the rocks in her heart fall
never seeing only black and white
when the colors mix together
to grey
and 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 says, I pray
oh, but my prayers fall on deaf ears
am I supposed to take this on myself
to get out of this place
And like stones in her heart fall
and she sees only black and white
although it's red blood flowing through her
it felt like cold blue ice down inside
when the colors mix together
to grey
and it breaks her heart
There's a voices from outside her hall
says, take what you can from your dreams
make them as real as anything
it'll take the work out of the courage
she says, please
there's a madman that's creeping outside my door
I live on the corner of Grey Street
it's at the end of the world
As if the stones in her heart fall
haven't seen both black and white
and though it's red blood bleeds now from her
it felt like cold blue ice down inside
when she go out in the morning
all the colors so bright
but all the colors mix together
to grey
it breaks her heart
it breaks her heart
it breaks her heart
Just like the rock in her heart fall
and she sees only black and white
although it's red blood bleeds now from her
it felt like cold blue ice deep inside
when it's lonely love with no one her
when she lifts up heaven's light
walk out my lovers am I older
would you see her, yeah say light
when all the colors mix together
to grey
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
