Shades Of Gray (Living In The Present Future 2000)

Текст песни Eagle-Eye Cherry - Shades Of Gray (Living In The Present Future 2000)

If you start here late no one will know what you did
Though the streets are straight it's the soul that is crooked
I've been treated fine, I've been treated elegantly
But I'm not one for bathing in the waters of plenty, no

East is east and west is west
The bar is screaming while the land's at rest
Well I'm south of skating but I'm north of the cash
I could sure use the money but I'm ashamed to ask

Traffic has buried all of last night's rain
The words are all different but the accent is the same

The sun is white
The moon is grey
The river's black, blue and green
The young are young
The old are old
There are no shades of grey in between

There's at least ten different strains of smoke in the air
And my prints are on the mall to prove I was there
I love the cursus but I'm not one for the trenches
Yes I do love the walking but I thank God for the benches

It's hard to tell where the green begins and the city grey stops
I guess the trees all bought their armor at the second hand shops
My second hand is working but the minute hand broke again
I know time will pass, but I don't know when

The sun is white
The moon is grey
The river's black, blue and green
The young are young
The old are old
There are no shades of grey in between
There are no shades of grey in between

I know the great ones have been here but where I can't tell
There's dreams here a' plenty but they're being withheld
And I'm more impressed with the closed
Doors than the ones that are open
The whole place tells time by the tower clock that's broken

Pigeons are ravens and the gulls are vultures
Trash is art and catch is culture, yeah

The sun is white
The moon is grey
The river's black, blue and green
The young are young
The old are old
There are no shades of grey in between
There are no shades of grey in between
No shades of grey in between
