Welcome to the city
Your tears are free
But leave them behind the curtain
Their not for me
I'm doing the best I can
But still leave you in the dust
Guess you didn't quite
Matter that much
Look at you singing
The Grey Pavement Blues
Didn't you know
This feeling ain't new
The ache in your shoulders
The bight in your gut
Been going on for decades
Stuck in a city rut
I can't know what's coming
But the pavements stained blue
Is that your mood or dissociation stew
You might blame a system
But could that be true
Wouldn't they change it
Oh, it must be you
Look at you singing
The Grey Pavement Blues
Didn't you know
This feeling ain't new
The ache in your shoulders
The bight in your gut
Been going on for decades
Stuck in a city rut
You feel like crying
But nothing comes
Your beds have dried up
Your heart has sunk
Look at you singing
The Grey Pavement Blues
Didn't you know
It's never, never been news
They want all your aches
And your malnourished your gut
The blues are an old song
Their stuck in a rut
Stuck in a rut
Stuck in a rut
Stuck in a rut
