Grey Lyrics - So Much Shouting, So Much Laughing (live) - Ani Difranco

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
