Grey

It was a saffron day on the avenue
 I took the evening train back to my dark room
 And the periwinkle sky was just the night in disguise
 Oh and everything eventually turns grey
 Well if you saw me now, I'd still talk at my shoes
 And if I saw you now, your eyes would still be blue
 And believing your own lies seemed like such a good idea
 But you see your father's eyes when you look into the mirror
 Oh and everything eventually turns grey
 It takes one hour to burn
 What was twenty years to come
 And we're all rubble at the bottom
 And it's all falling down
 Yeah it's all falling down
 The creases there, and my crooked spine
 The bold headlines now, a linear design
 Oh and everything eventually turns grey
 It takes one hour to burn
 What was two hundred years to come
 And we're all rubbled at the bottom
 And it's all falling down
 And it's all falling down
 Yeah it's all falling down
 Now, now it's getting yellow at the edges
 Cracking at the corners
 Bending at the knees
 You're getting blue in the face
 From screaming the warning
 And no one's listening
 It's hard to see, we turn away
 We're slowly walking underground
 Ashes to ashes now, ashes to ashes now
 Now your old idyllic hope is just
 A shipwreck on the shore
 And now your old idyllic hope is just
 A shipwreck on the shore
