Grey Pavement Blues

Welcome to the city Your tears are free But leave them behind the curtain Their not for me I'm doing the best I can But still leave you in the dust Guess you didn't quite matter that much Look at you singing The Grey Pavement Blues Didn't you know This feeling ain't new The ache in your shoulders The bight in your gut Been going on for decades Stuck in a city rut I can't know what's coming But the pavements stained blue Is that your mood or dissociation stew You might blame a system But could that be true Wouldn't they change it Oh, it must be you Look at you singing The Grey Pavement Blues Didn't you know This feeling ain't new The ache in your shoulders The bight in your gut Been going on for decades Stuck in a city rut You feel like crying But nothing comes Your beds have dried up Your heart has sunk Look at you singing The Grey Pavement Blues Didn't you know It's never, never been news They want all your aches And your malnourished your gut The blues are an old song Their stuck in a rut Stuck in a rut Stuck in a rut Stuck in a rut
