Lyrics

What about the street from which the world retreats? What about the street from which the world retreats? What about the street from which the world retreats? You and I gonna be the secret it keeps In the rain, in the snow, in the weight of the years In the empty echoing city Gonna fade away Gonna turn to shades of gray and We're all dying to go and disappear In the empty echoing city It will be yesterday You and I gonna burn in shades of gray and In the rain, in the snow, in the weight of the years In the empty echoing city Gonna fade away Gonna turn to shades of gray and We're all dying to go and disappear In the empty echoing city It will be yesterday You and I gonna burn in shades of gray and Are you crossed when the song hits? Are you constantly haunted? Is it noxiously monstrous? Is it random and causeless? Is it something that brought this? That washed from its haunches To prolong this, the wrongness The loss of your options And loudly the clock ticks He's spouting the toxins And now you're unconscious But somehow still my thought sticks He bow when you fall sick And tells you, taunting To shout with a hawk's pitch And out come the foxes (shades of gray) Shades of gray they'll say What about the street from which the world retreats? You and I gonna be the secret it keeps What about the sand that was slipping through your hand? I couldn't tell where it ended and you began What about the smoke? What about the broken screens? What about the playing out of 80,000 hopes and dreams? What about the sand that was slipping through your hand? I couldn't tell where it ended and you began Couldn't tell where it ended and you began Couldn't tell where it ended and you began Oh, you're splittin', you're something else A shift to the former self A pitch in the tower bells Rip something wide, the shell Count 'em all up to twelve Insurmountable raising hell And the animals come to tell us What now is when they propel out of the deep Out of the bone, out of reality that you believe That was your body, that was your soul No one knows nothing except for the time being A divine being that was hiding Now inside me but I know I've seen The last days of the approach sing So get behind In the rain, in the snow, in the weight of the years In the empty echoing city The echoing city, the echoing city The echoing city, the echoing city (Shades of gray) we're all dying to go and disappear (Shades of gray) in the empty echoing city The echoing city, the echoing city The echoing city, (two, three) the echoing city In the rain, in the snow, in the weight of the years In the empty echoing city Gonna fade away Gonna turn to shades of gray and We're all dying to go and disappear In the empty echoing city It will be yesterday You and I gonna burn in shades of gray and (Shades of gray) in the rain, in the snow, in the weight of the years (Shades of gray) in the empty echoing city What about the street from which the world retreats? You and I gonna be the secret it keeps (Shades of gray) we're all dying to go and disappear (Shades of gray) in the empty echoing city What about the sand that was slipping through your hand? I couldn't tell where it ended and you began
