Touch of Grey

Must be getting early

Clocks are running late

Paint-by-number morning sky

Looks so phonyDawn is breaking everywhere

Light a candle, curse the glare

Draw the curtains I don't care 'cause

It's all rightI will get by

I will get by

I will get by

I will surviveI see you've got your fist out

Say your piece and get out

Yes, I get the gist of it

But it's all rightSorry that you feel that way

The only thing there is to say

Every silver lining's got a

Touch of greyI will get by

I will get by

I will get by

I will surviveIt's a lesson to me

The Ables and the Bakers and the C's

The ABC's, we all must face

And try to keep a little graceIt's a lesson to me

The Deltas and the East and the Freeze

The ABC's, we all think of

Try to give a little loveI know the rent is in arrears

The dog has not been fed in years

It's even worse than it appears

But it's all rightThe cow is giving kerosene

Kid can't read at seventeen

The words he knows are all obscene

But it's all rightI will get by

I will get by

I will get by

I will surviveThe shoe is on the hand it fits

There's really nothing much to it

Whistle through your teeth and spit

'Cause it's all rightOh well, a touch of grey

Kind of suits you anyway

That was all I had to say

It's all rightI will get by

I will get by

I will get by

I will surviveWe will get by

We will get by

We will get by

We will surviveWe will get by

We will get by

We will get by

We will survive
