Touch Of Grey Lyrics - Singles - The War On Drugs

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 get 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 

And 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 

Try to give 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 

The 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 

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 

We will get by 

We will get by 

We will get by 

We will survive
