Grey Streets - Felt

Grey streets and streets of grey

Patrolled by knights from the invading day

Closing eyelids stutter and tumble and turn away

Makeshift memories they collide for another stay

I was attracted to you because the forces were so blind

And you were attracted to me

Because my face smiled down from a wall

And you said I looked kind

Well hello it’s me again

I just called 'round to see my friend

'Cause when I’m talking to you can’t you see that the world’s aglow

You’re so semi-precious about life and you won’t let your feelings show

I was a photograph

I was a picture on display

You were so negative because once I owned the world

But I gave it away

I am here and you are there

We are near so why should we care

You almost wish you werw dying it would be an excuse to really live

I sometimes wonder why 'cause you’ve got nothing left to give

And I was attracted to you

Because the forces were so blind

And you were attracted to me

Because my face smiled down from a wall

And you said I looked kind.
