Grateful Dead - Touch Of Grey [Lyrics]

Grateful Dead - Touch Of Grey

Lyrics:
Must be getting early
Clocks are running late
Paint by Number morning sky
Looks so phony

Dawn is breaking everywhere
Light a candle, curse the glare
Draw the curtains, I don't care
'Cause it's all right

I will get by
I will get by
I will get by
I will survive

I see you've got your fist out
Say your piece and get out
Yes I got the gist of it
But it's all right

Sorry that you feel that way
The only thing there is to say
Every silver lining's got a
Touch of grey

I will get by
I will get by
I will get by
I will survive

It's a lesson to me
The Ables and the Bakers and the C's
The ABC's we all must face
To try to keep a little grace

It's a lesson to me
The Deltas and the East and the Freeze
The ABC's we all think of
To try to win a little love

I know the rent is in arrears
The dog has not been fed in years
It's even worse than it appears
But it's all right

Cow is giving kerosene
Kid can't read at seventeen
The words he knows are all obscene
But it's all right

I will get by
I will get by
I will get by
I will survive

The shoe is on the hand it fits
There's really nothing much to it
Whistle through your teeth and spit
'Cause it's all right

Oh well, a touch of grey
Kind of suits you anyway
That was all I had to say
And it's all right

I will get by
I will get by
I will get by
I will survive

We will get by
We will get by
We will get by
We will survive

@LeeRyder Furthur still tours and I'm young and don't know what the scene was like back then and I do know since I've been hitting up every show I can, the crowd has degraded in personality, but there is certainly still a huge Dead following. They may be getting old, but they can play a killer show in heat that restricted me to my campsite until their set started.

Man how I miss the parking lot party. I was high as a fooking kite on acid one night at the "Fabulous Forum" in LA and I heard someone call my name... two, then three times...

turns out that long haired hippy was an old Army buddy of mine, Mars.

It's sad this whole generation coming up has nothing like this... it was America's roving Woodstock for 20 years.

[Davyliscious]

I expected these guys to be punkier, cuz I've never heard them before, and my friend that likes thrash metal and punk music loves these guys...whatever, still good :)

[EJSMITTY17]

@TheKomikz You're not alone!!!!
