"Grey" by: Ani Difranco
the sky is grey,
the sand is grey,
and the ocean is grey.
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 thing 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 got three
simple things to say.
why me?
why this now?
why this way?
overtone's ringing,
undertow's 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.
