Текст Ani DiFranco — 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
