8/25/2001 alternate lyrics
Oh, just look at how she listens
she's saying nothing of what she thinks
sits alone and wanders through her memories
staring out onto Grey Street
she thinks, hey
how did I come to this
oh I dreamed myself a million times around the world
but I can't get out of this place
As if a fog rolled up inside her
and she sees the fading light
when all the colors mix together
to grey
and it breaks her heart
Oh, remembering when she was just a girl
played ring around the rosy with the clouds
and ashes to ashes came all falling down
she thought it was a flame then that burns the match
she thinks, hey
I feel as though I'm in the biggest sun power of light
I dreamed myself up and down around town
and I can't get out of this place
Oh, just like a rock rolled inside her
and all of weight life's holds you down
and though it's red blood bleeding from her
it feels like cold blue ice through her heart
oh and the colors mix together
to grey
and breaks her heart
She's hearing voices from outside her door
says, take what you can from your dreams
make them as real as anything
oh it'll take the work out of the courage
she thinks, please
oh, there's a crazy man creeping outside my door
I live on the corner of Grey Street
oh and the end of the world
Oh, just like a rock rolled up inside her
and she sees the fading light
and though it's red blood bleeding from her
it feels like cold blue ice in her heart
and when she rolls up in the morning
all she wanted is light
but all the colors mix together
to grey
on grey street
on grey street
on grey street
Oh, though the wrong mind inside her
saying nothing comes from this
and though it's red blood bleeding from her
it felt like cold blue ice from the very last stop
and though it's lonely down in her heart now
walk out in her setting sun
oh she knows it now, she wants no worry
but it wound up in city life
when all the colors mix together
to grey
on grey street
on grey street
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
