Grey House - Paul Draper

I lived on the underground

On the edge of society

There were people ignoring me

And it made me contemptuous

So I travelled the overground

And tried to just integrate

And I smile and I just said hello

Pretended I’m not dying inside

And I’m living in a grey house

Living like the monkey do

I lived in a grey house with you

I’m feeling like this monkey’s insane, feeling the monkey

I’m feeling like this monkey’s insane, feeling the monkey

Life is a gas you don’t know where you’re at in the Grey House

We had so much fun, didn’t kill everyone in the Grey House

So I look for some solitude

But I never had the aptitude, for it

I lived in the ordinary

So I tried to suspend that too

So I painted my skirting boards

And greyed my environment

And I’ve learned all my lessons well

And locked myself up with you

And I’m living in a grey house

Living like the monkey do

I lived in a grey house with you

I’m feeling like this monkey’s insane, feeling the monkey

I’m feeling like this monkey’s insane, feeling the monkey

Life is a gas you don’t know where you’re at in the Grey House

We had so much fun, didn’t kill everyone in the Grey House

Life is a gas you don’t know where you’re at in the Grey House

We had so much fun, didn’t kill everyone in the Grey House
