Touch Of Grey

Must be getting early

Clocks are running late

Paint by number morning sky looks so phony

Dawn is breaking everywhere

Light a candle, curse the glare

Draw the curtains I don't care cause it's alright

I will get by

I will get by

I will get by

I will survive

I see you've got your fists out, say your piece and get out

Guess I get the gist of it but it's alright

Sorry that you feel that way

The only thing there is to say

Every silver lining's got a touch of grey

I will get by

I will get by

I will get by

I will survive

It's a lesson to me

The Deltas and the East and the Freeze

The ABC's we all think of

To try to give a little love

I know the rent is in arrears, the dog has not been fed in years

It's even worse than it appears but it's alright

Cow is given kerosene

Kid can't read at seventeen

The words he knows are all obscene but it's alright

I will get by

I will get by

I will get by

I will survive

The shoe is on the hand it fits

There's all there really nothing much to it

Whistle through your teeth and spit because it's alright

Oh, well, a touch of gray, kind of suits you anyway

That's was all I had to say but it's alright

I will get by

I will get by

I will get by

I will survive

We will get by

We will get by

We will get by

We will survive
