World Wrapped in Grey Songtext
Some folks see the world as a stone
Concrete daubed in dull monotone
Your heart is the big box of paints
And others, the canvas we′re dealt
Your heart is the big box of paints
How colored the flowers all smelled
As they huddled there, in petaled prayer
They told me this, as I knelt there
Awaken, you dreamers
Adrift in your beds
Balloons and streamers decorate the
Inside of your heads
Please let some out
Do it today
But don't let the loveless ones sell you
A world wrapped in grey
Some folks pull this life like a weight
(Like a weight around)
Drab and dragging dreams made of slate
(Made of slate but won′t leave the ground)
Your heart is the big box of paints
And others, the canvas we are dealt
Your heart is the big box of paints, oh
Just think how the old masters felt, they call
Awaken, you dreamers
Asleep at your beds
Parrots and lemurs populate your
Unconscious grotesques
Please let some out
(Let some out, let some out)
Do it today
(Let some out, let some out)
Don't let the loveless ones sell you
(Let some out, let some out)
A world wrapped in grey
And in the very least
You can stand up naked and
Grin
Concrete daubed in dull monotone
Your heart is the big box of paints
And others, the canvas we′re dealt
Your heart is the big box of paints
How colored the flowers all smelled
As they huddled there, in petaled prayer
They told me this, as I knelt there
Awaken, you dreamers
Adrift in your beds
Balloons and streamers decorate the
Inside of your heads
Please let some out
Do it today
But don't let the loveless ones sell you
A world wrapped in grey
Some folks pull this life like a weight
(Like a weight around)
Drab and dragging dreams made of slate
(Made of slate but won′t leave the ground)
Your heart is the big box of paints
And others, the canvas we are dealt
Your heart is the big box of paints, oh
Just think how the old masters felt, they call
Awaken, you dreamers
Asleep at your beds
Parrots and lemurs populate your
Unconscious grotesques
Please let some out
(Let some out, let some out)
Do it today
(Let some out, let some out)
Don't let the loveless ones sell you
(Let some out, let some out)
A world wrapped in grey
And in the very least
You can stand up naked and
Grin
