All around, white dust setting a table
But the sky, have you ever looked at the sky when it snows?
Faint red lights, and weary tracks
When you look at the sky, what do you see?
Gray, it is gray.
From inside a pleasant room, a fire in
the glow of laughter
Staring up through a shattered windshield
as the dust mixes with blood
From corrugated cage, a cup brought
to frozen lips
Gray, it is gray.
Oh, but it is gray as far as you can see!
If i were to walk, I would walk until I fell.
And i would fall under the same sky.
My back would gather dust, my head
a shattered windshield
Tracks leading away to the same gray.
acrid smoke, chimney smoke, tobacco smoke
burnt rubber, hot fire, black lungs
and the dust receives them all.
The gray sky beckons them come,
and they rise
and dissolve.

Have you ever just looked at the sky when it snows?
All around, white dust setting a table
But the sky, have you ever looked at the sky when it snows?
Faint red lights, and weary tracks
When you look at the sky, what do you see?
Gray, it is gray.
From inside a pleasant room, a fire in
the glow of laughter
Staring up through a shattered windshield
as the dust mixes with blood
From corrugated cage, a cup brought
to frozen lips
Gray, it is gray.
Oh, but it is gray as far as you can see!
If i were to walk, I would walk until I fell.
And i would fall under the same sky.
My back would gather dust, my head
a shattered windshield
Tracks leading away to the same gray.
acrid smoke, chimney smoke, tobacco smoke
burnt rubber, hot fire, black lungs
and the dust receives them all.
The gray sky beckons them come,
and they rise
and dissolve.
