Lyrics for Grey

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
