Gray Life
Circle Jerks, The
Oddities, Abnormalities, & Curiosities (1995)

wilting flowers equate death
not what i'm about
this war of wits like vietnam
now i'm pulling out
i need a lump of something
so confused what i want
to put it down in layman's terms
i'm basically fucked
could have given everything
but that's not enough
when i asked for sugar
you substitute salt

i'm trying to think up
some miraculous strategy
to bust loose from this creeping misery

i won't settle for a gray life
i won't settle for a gray life
i won't settle for a gray life

sawing on my limbs
in this surrealistic dream
tie me up, gag my mouth
now i 'm ready to scream
sad eyed velvet painting
you don't want to be loved
titanic frontrow stateroom
you've been screwing the crew
i might be an imbecile
but i won't be a fool

i'm trying to think up
some miraculous strategy
to bust loose from this creeping misery

i won't settle on a gray life
i won't settle on a gray life
i won't settle on a gray life

i need a lump of somehting
so confused what i want
to put it down in layman's terms
i'm basically fucked

i'm trying to think up some
miraculous strategy
to bust loose from this creeping misery
i won't settle for a gray life
i won't settle for a gray life
i won't settle for a gray life
