Grey

Like it or not you're on the spot, you got to make the grade
No more hiding or backsliding
It's a fate you can't escape, you might as well get on with it
Or go Grey.

Gold diggers, three a penny
Lining up for your last few drops of life blood, if you've got any
Make a brand new start ignite the spark you got
Or go Grey.

We spend our lives in uniform, be it pin-stripe blue or denim torn
Wouldn't it be nice to escape the norm for a day
Oh you're the Captain, you're the crew,
but no one's heart is bullet proof
You're the boss you call the shots,
and you're the only hope I got
Or go Grey.

First it's stay, then it's go, sometimes yes, & sometimes no
I'm like a fucking clown in a mad side show
pissing in the rain
I wanna hold you, I wanna love you,
I wanna love you, I wanna be with you
I wanna hold you, I wanna love you,
I wanna hold you in my arms and know that it's OK... Or go Grey.
