Grey Street
Look
at how she listens
She says nothing of what she thinks
Just listens to abuses
And by the kitchen sink...
She
thinks, "Hey!
Why do I live to this?
I'm latest on life
How did it end like this?"
Oh, then the wrongs in her heart fall
And she feels the weight in lies
And the colors mix together to grey
Grey Street
Begging
now the difference
She prays to God most everynight
Although she swears He doesn't listen
There's hope in her that He just might
She
said, "I Pray!" "I Pray!" "I Pray!"
"But they fall on deaf ears
I'm supposed to take it all on myself
To get out of this place."
But
soon the wrongs in her heart fall
And then she rode the light in
Oh, the pain now seems it's over
And again she sees the pain
And then the colors mix together to grey
On Grey Street
It's
all colored in again
Take what you can from your dreams
Make it real as anything
Takes the work out of the courage
She
said, "Please!" "Please!" "Please!"
"There's someone sleeping outside my door
I live on the corner of Grey Street
And the end of the world."
And
the wrong in her whole plan
I as hopeless as the day she came
And the man she calls her father
Ignores her and ignores her pain
Oh,
when I walk out in the morning
In all this sunlight
And all the colors mix together to grey
On Grey Street
On Grey Street
It's Grey Street, you go
So, if
you don't see your Heaven
Don't convince yourself you're done
Just 'cause the things around you seem heavy
Doesn't mean you can give up this ground
When
you hold me down in the heart now
Move out and, oh, the wait is over
Oh, might notice of your worry
One another ... (?)
And the colors mix together to grey
On Grey Street
On Grey Street
To grey...
Yeah, yeah...
Digging a Ditch
Unto
your dreaming
When you're alone
Unplug the TV
Turn off the phone
Get heavy on with digging your ditch
Cause
I'm digging a ditch where madness gives
Digging a ditch where silence lives
Digging a ditch for when I'm old
Digging a ditch where stories told
Where all these troubles
That weigh down on me will rise
Unto your dreaming
When you're alone
Where all these worries
That hold heavy on my heart
Will die, will die, will die...
Unto
your dreaming
When you're alone
Unplug the TV
Turn off your phone
Get heavy on with digging your ditch
Cause
I'm diggin a ditch where madness gives
Digging a ditch where silence lives in here
Digging a ditch and when I'm through
Digging this ditch I'll dig in for you
Where all these disappointments
That grow angry out of me will die
Where all these habits
That hold heavy on my heart will die
Unto
your dremaing
When you're alone
Not what you're sure be or what you've become
Just getting heavy on with digging your ditch
Cause
I'm digging a ditch where madness gives again
I'm digging a ditch where silence lives
Where all these troubles that weight down on me will rise
Will rise...
Will rise...
Will rise...
Unto
your dreaming
When you're alone
Unplug the TV
Turn off your phone
Get heavy on with digging your ditch
.
Sweet Up and Down
Big
dog bites the bone
Life's too short to take all this
Not true when what's more:
Life's too short to mind
Just keep on with
The Sweet Up and Down
Unturning
her cheek
Inside-out, her neat little pose
Dirty, little girl
Climbs out of the hole in her own
In this Sweet up and Down
I
believe in love
But believe it's my heart that keeps turning me down
I believe in love
I think it's just fine
Oh, the Sweet up and Down
Big
pig turns to me
Pig he needs to eat like us all
Not far from the beast
Man sits down to feast on this part
Of the Sweet up and down
I
believe in love
And believe it's my heart that keeps turning me down
I believe in love
I think it's just fine
On the Sweet up and Down
BT...
Up and
down, inside out
Outside in some you lose some
You win for us all
Up and down we go
Bad times choke us all once or twice
On this Sweet up and Down
I
believe in love
But think nothing about it when you're not around
I believe in love
I think you're just fine
On the Sweet up and Down
I
believe in love
But believe in my heart that keeps turning me down
I believe in love
I think you're just fine
On the Sweet up and Down...
JTR
I
drink you up
For every drop of you is sacred
Every drop I drink you up
You
fill my cup
The way you laugh
Eyes of a child
Lean on me, you fill me up
You make me love
So unconditionally generous
To me you give me love
And break my heart
Slip, you fall, I pick you up and dust you off
You break my heart
Rain,
rain, rain down on me
Again and again
Rain down on me
Take
all you want
For what is mine is yours
No better use is there for what I've got
Take all you want
And only hope can I, you won't deny
Your love for me, my love
No,
don't cry, if it's too high
I lift you up, we'll make it, make it
When I was oh so tired
You come along to wake me, wake me
Time and time, again and again
With a smile you save me child
Oh, oh, oh...
Rain,
rain, rain down on me
Again and again
Rain down on me
Look,
we play our cards
And I question by the grace of what
We play our cards at all
Come fill me up
Oh, fill me love when I'm empty
when I'm all dried up
No,
dont cry, if it's too high
I lift you up, we'll make it, make it
Oh, I was so so tired
You come along to wake me, wake me
Time and time, again and again
With a smile you save me child
Oh, oh, oh...
Rain,
rain, rain down on me
Again and again
Rain down on me
Rain, rain, rain down on me...
Big Eyed Fish
Story
of a man
Who decided not to breath
Turned red, purple, then blue
Colorful indeed
No matter how his friends begged
Well, he would not concede
And now he's dead
You see, 'cause everybody knows
You got to breathe
But,
oh God,
Under the weight of life
Things seem brighter on the other side...
Lighter on the other side...
Another
one:
See this monkey sitting in his tree
One day, decided to climb down
And run off to the city
Look at him now
Tired, and drunk
And living in the street
As good as dead
You see, a monkey should know
Stay up your tree
But,
oh God,
Under the weight of life
Things seem brighter on the other side
Oh God,
But under the weight of life
Things seem much lighter on the other side
No
way...
No way...
No way...
Out...
Of here...
Another
one:
A Big Eyed Fish
Yeah, swimming in the sea
Oh, how he dreamed
He wants to be a bird
Swooping, diving through the breeze
One day
He caught a big blue wave
Up onto the beach
And now he's dead
You see, a fish's dream
Should stay in the sea
But,
oh God,
Under the weight of life
Things seem brighter on the other side
Oh God,
But under the weight of life
Things seem brighter on the other side
No
way...
No way...
No way...
Out...
Of Here...
No way
out of here...
No way out of life...
Grace is Gone
Neon
shines through smoky eyes tonight
It’s 2 AM, I’m drunk again
It’s heavy on my mind
It’s heavy on my mind
I
could never love again
So much as I love you
Where you end where I begin
Is like a river flowing through
Take
my heart, take my eyes
'Cause I'll need them no more
If never again they’ll fall upon
The one I so adore
'Scuse
me please, one more drink
Could you make it strong
'cause I don’t need to think
She broke my heart
My Grace is Gone
Another drink and I’ll move on
One
drink to remember, and another to forget
How could I ever dream to find a love like this again
One drink to remember, and another to forget...
Excuse
me please, one more drink
Would you make it strong
'Cause I don’t need to think
She broke my heart
My Grace is Gone
Another drink and I’ll move on
One more drink and ill move on...
You
think of things impossible
Then the sun refuse to shine
I woke with you beside me
Your cold hand lay in mine
'Scuse
me please, one more drink
Could you make it strong
'Cause I don’t need to think
She broke my heart
My Grace is Gone
Another drink and I’ll go...
'Scuse
me please, one more drink
Could you make it strong
'Cause I don’t need to think
She broke my heart
My Grace is Gone
Another drink and I'll move on
One more drink and I'll move on
One more drink my Grace is Gone.
Captain
Crazy
as I may
Make my way through this world, oh
It's for no one but me to say
What direction I should turn in now
'Cause
I am the captain of this ship
Wanting eyes and kissing lips
The same as it was
And will remain until I'm done
And gone
Strange,
but it seems
There's mutiny brewing inside of me now
I don't want your pity
Just the promise that I'll be alright
'Cause
I am the captain of this ship
Curious hands and fingertips
The same as it was
And will be until I'm gone
Oh, I
know I'm a dreamer
Still think it's strange
I won't be long for here
Oh, I know that I feel, oh
Wait and go again
Again...
Oh,
look, I'm buried
Like a cancer eating away inside of me
I don't want your pity
Only the promise that I'll be okay now
But I
am the captain of this ship
Curious hands and fingertips
The same as it was before here
Here, back
After all
Why
should I be hypnotized
By the promise of a long life?
Why should I hold hope
In tiny, tiny dribbles that glide by?
Why should I lean everything upon ...
I won't be here long...
Oh, I
know I'm a dreamer
Still seems a truth
I won't be long for here
Oh, it's so, but I think I lay this
On now your lips
I'm drowning
I am
the Captain of ...
Oh...
But, I'll be okay after all.
Bartender
If I
go
Before I'm old
Oh, brother of mine
Please don't forget me if I go
Bartender,
please
Fill my glass for me
With the wine you gave Jesus that set him free
After three days in the ground
Oh,
and if I die
Before my time
Oh, sweet sister of mine
Please don't regret me if I die
Bartender,
please
Fill my glass for me
With the wine you gave Jesus that set him free
After three days in the ground
Bartender,
please
Fill my glass for me
With the wine you gave Jesus that set him free
After three days in the ground
I'm on
bended knees, I pray
Bartender, please
When I
was young, I didn't think about it
Now I can't get it out of my mind
I'm on
bended knees
Father, please
Oh,
and if all this gold
Should steal my soul away
Oh, dear mother of mine
Please redirect me if this gold...
Bartender,
you see
The wine that's drinking me
Came from the vine that strung Judas from the Devil's tree
His roots deep, deep in the ground
Bartender,
you see
The wine that's drinking me
Came from the vine that strung Judas from the Devil's tree
Its roots deep, deep in the ground
Ground...
I'm on
bended knees
Oh, Bartender, please
I'm on
bended knees
Father, please
When I
was young, I didn't think about it
Now I just want to run and hide
I'm on
bended knees
Oh, Bartender, please
Bartender, please...
Monkey Man
Great
Monkey Man has gone the distance
The lucky one's going to get it all
Loving life now
Living on top of
Lucky ones always get it all
Oh,
I'm hungry
Don't wanna die like a little dog
Gonna take what I can get
I'm the Monkey Man
With the great, great monkey plan
It's
crazy, crazy, little man
You've got yourself entangled
Oh,
love to lie to myself
To say everything is fine now
We got to keep it up
Or fall behind
I got to keep it up
Or lose the edge we found there faster
I'll build higher, still higher
I dig deeper down 'til it's down in the ground
It's found, used up and then thrown out
Crazy,
crazy little man
What do you think you're doing here?
Big, beautiful world just for us
Good use we must put it to
Any way I can think to use it up
What will I tell my grandson's grandsons?
I
could weave a fairy tale
On a great Bible-thumping scale
When he stands empty hands
On his empty land
That's what happened here
Great, great Monkey Man
Where
did you think grey was the color of this?
You think I don't know quite what to say
But I'm worried for myself in this
I'm
hungry
Don't wanna die like a little dog
Well, I eat what I can get
From the Monkey Man
Great, great monkey plan
Crazy,
crazy man
You get yourself turned in a pickle
Crazy, crazy Monkey Man
Who is the one in the middle
Take a walk
Cross the ice
Melts too quickly
For us to reach the other side
It's
cold in here
But the sun shines bright, oh
It warms this up well
Oh, the tide is rising higher
Look,
it's strange
Floating by
Looks just like ones that
Flow out and ride, oh, I will
Golden
age
These golden times
Our golden days seem to have us
Hypnotized or blind, well
Kit Kat Jam
Hey,
golden girl, with your hair swinging down
All of this love you have going round
What will you do when the gold turns to grey?
Have you thought now
Well, what the hay, give us some
Cover
yourself with the safety of lies
You'll find it's easier 'til you face dying
Oh, sweetest smile in a confident come along
All of this longing you will done
Up and
out, goes to your heart
And you will make yourself higher up, little fool
And love and go down and pay to go on
We'll lie on water, and oh
On the way back I slip on the ceiling
Caught
you just then, hands were in the cookie jar
How can we share when you sneak up and go?
I've no intention of losing by beard
How they design and then we go again
Oh
God, them horses were racing
And, oh, bring me down
Could put Humpty Dumpty back together again
Now the wall won't hold anyone
I walk in the slide
Wait and reach your lady
This is the short one
Short way to lay in
Oh,
let her leave my hand I've given up
Whoa, how is too late now
Oh,
free, just...
Were you lying?
Raven
Rise
and graze on this
The future is a mess
Oh, where you take this thing
From us we give it in
No longer yet, oh no
Won't you got your thing
I cheer then empty it from
One over thing
One
over thing
Count out the radiant life
Won't you give in now
Out of the reasons
Let a light is run
Stone
and gate is lay
Hope you got your lips
Live up to your dreams and give
Wonder you'll but then
Dark
and tossed away
Breach all yourself
On love is a gaze
Gone and tossed away
Leave the bane stick in and in
Oh
I'll lay here
Don't give up your down, down, down
We don't need all
Heaven's all underground
Can we leave all
The lord knows it's dark, dark
Rain is empty receded
I have to say it's nothing more than
My point of view
This
pride rains for a girl
She slides across the floor
And looks good as an angel
Watch, I want some more
She's
all needed to me
Best thing I can come
What's all been played with me
The sweetest one of all
The sweetest one of all
Come
on Raven give it up
Won't you give the light up
I'm to waiting
Here like a (?)
When I say this I mean all
Won't you go with your head
Live life till you don't need in it
But don't give up on it
All
then tossed away
Ah, don't you give up this little stray
Gone, then tossed away
Read, God is on the page
Pray
on word
Have you say you get down, down, down
Oh, we leave here
We need more love round, around, around
They won't let it go on, oh, man cower down
Here no worry, to rest they say nothing more then I wouldn't do
Can
leave us love to die, no
Would you give your love?
Rise up, you Raven
If you like to live it down on it
Won't let you down here, would you got
Raisins up, to spread around the place
God
got locked away
No, don't place it in time
We walk away
Then rise up your wings
Read the way out of the wars
Oh, my
lady
Oh all, in all around and round, round
I won't let you
(?)
Freedom, Freedom, Freedom, Freedom, Freedom
Oh, I
won't be this
I'm here to say it's
Nothing more than my point of view
