Grey Streets

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.
