Grey lyrics

the sky is grey

the sand is grey

and the ocean is grey

and I feel right at home

in this stunning monochrome

alone in my way

I smoke and I drink

and every time I blink

I have a tiny dream

but as bad as I am

I'm proud of the fact

that I'm worse than I seem

what kind of paradise am I looking for?

I've got everything I want and still I want more

maybe some tiny shiny key

will wash up on the shore

you walk through my walls

like a ghost on tv

you penetrate me

and my little pink heart

is on its little brown raft

floating out to sea

and what can I say

but I'm wired this way

and you're wired to me

and what can I do

but wallow in you

unintentionally

what kind of paradise am I looking for?

I've got everything i want and still I want more

maybe some tiny shiny key

will wash up on the shore

regretfully

I guess I've only got three

simple things to say:

why me?

why this now?

why this way?

with overtones ringing

and undertows pulling away

under a sky that is grey

on sand that is grey

by an ocean that's grey

what kind of paradise am I looking for?

I've got everything I want

and still I want more

maybe some tiny shiny key

will wash up on the shore
