Lyrics
GREY
Between the white and broken yellow lines
You?re stuck in the middle leave it all behind
You smoke your last cigarette
Hoping, wishing, believing
that you would forget
You play the lotto
yet again
But you have to win
to open up and let them in
As you keep a watchful eye
On the big bad world outside
If you believe all this crap is true
then sit right there and watch it take a big bad bite out of you
You?re off again to another place
You?ve made you self some money
Now it?s time for a change of face
The sky ahead it seems so blue
Now it all looks grey again to you
Driving into the mouth of the monster
Be not afraid
It?s ok
If you have to
Pray
Storm ahead as the radio plays that same old song
Clouds form shapes as the road moves along
Day into night
night into day
There?s no way around it
There?s no other way
As you keep a watchful eye
On the big bad world outside
If you believe all this crap is true
then sit right there and watch it take a big bad bite out of you
You?re off again to another place
You?ve made you self some money
Now it?s time for a change of face
The sky ahead it seems so blue
Now it all looks grey again to you
Between the white and broken yellow lines
You?re stuck in the middle leave it all behind
You smoke your last cigarette
Hoping, wishing, believing
that you would forget
You play the lotto
yet again
But you have to win
to open up and let them in
As you keep a watchful eye
On the big bad world outside
If you believe all this crap is true
then sit right there and watch it take a big bad bite out of you
You?re off again to another place
You?ve made you self some money
Now it?s time for a change of face
The sky ahead it seems so blue
Now it all looks grey again to you
