The Lillywhite Sessions lyrics

Crazy as I may
Make my way through this world
Oh, its for no one but me to say
What direction I should turn in now

Cause I am the captain of this ship
Wanting eyes and kissing lips
The same as it was
And will remain until Im done and gone

Strange, but it seems
Theres mutiny brewing inside of me now
I dont want your pity
Just the promise that Ill be alright

Look at how she listens
She says nothing of what she thinks
Just listens to abuses
And by the kitchen sink...

She thinks, "Hey!
Why do I live to this?
I'm latest on life
How did it end like this?"
Oh, when the roads in her heart fall
And she feels the weight of life
And the colors mix together to grey
Grey Street

Begging now the difference
She prays to God most everynight

Great Monkey Man has gone the distance
The lucky one's going to get it all
Loving life now
Living on top of
Lucky ones always get it all

Oh, I'm hungry
Don't wanna die like a little dog
Gonna take what I can get
I'm the Monkey Man
With the great, great monkey plan

It's crazy, crazy, little man
You've got yourself entangled

Oh, love to lie to myself
To say everything is fine now

Big dog bites the bone
Life's too short to take all this
Not true when what's more
Life's too short to mind
Just keep on with
The sweet up and down

Unturning her cheek
Inside-out, her neat little pose
Dirty, little girl
Climbs out of the hole in her own
In this sweet up and down

I believe in love
But believe it's my heart that keeps turning me down
I believe in love

Rise and graze on this
The future is a mess
Oh, where you take this thing
From us we give it in
No longer yet, oh no
Won't you got your thing
I cheer then empty it from
One over thing

One over thing
Count out the radiant life
Won't you give in now
Out of the reasons
Let a light is run

Stone and gate is lay
Hope you got your lips
Live up to your dreams and give
Wonder you'll but then

I drink you up
For every drop of you is sacred
Every drop I drink you up

You fill my cup
The way you laugh
Eyes of a child
Lean on me, you fill me up
You make me love
So unconditionally generous
To me you give me love
And break my heart
Slip, you fall, I pick you up and dust you off
You break my heart

Rain, rain, rain down on me
Again and again
Rain down on me

Oh look at how she listens
She says nothing of what she thinks
She just goes stumbling through her memories
Staring out on to Grey Street

She thinks, âHey,
How did I come to this?
I dream myself a million times around the world,
But I can't get out of this placeâ?

There's an loneliness inside her
And she'd do anything to fill it in
But all the colors mix together - to grey

If I go
Before I'm old
Oh, brother of mine
Please don't forget me if I go

Bartender, please
Fill my glass for me
With the wine you gave Jesus that set him free
After three days in the ground

Oh, and if I die
Before my time
Oh, sweet sister of mine
Please don't regret me if I die

Bartender, please
Fill my glass for me
With the wine you gave Jesus that set him free
After three days in the ground
