Grey

The sky is gray The sand is gray And the ocean is gray 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
