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
