lyrics--"grey"...ani difranco

[fizzygirl]

okay, just to preface this, i am not all sad still, and i dont exactly see this as a depressing song...just interesting and full of thought

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 think
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 youre wired to me
and what can i do
but wallow i you
unintentionally
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 and 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.......

*sigh* grey is def. one of the best soongs on the new albums. (not better than "marrow" mind you...) i think its time to turn the 2step channel on spinner off and put in a little revelling and reckoning...
i get to see ani in 15 days... 4th row center. *sigh* life is good.
dak: youy;ve only beena huge fan this week.. geez.. ive beena huge fan for something like 5 years.... lol...
