The Affordable Floors - Only Gray lyrics

From the Album: Drumming on the Walls (1989) Patterns cross the floor with cars, as I slowly draw the blinds I'm wondering what you've come here for. You know this light hurts my eyes And I see only gray, It's not clear I'm lying Patterns formed from words still fall, sentences spiral down The conversation carries on; steel strikes stone without sound My rest comes with the tearing of an eye. In a pause to blink it dry Sleep comes fast. And I wait to hear the drumming on the walls The soft light in the halls will still burn when I have pa**ed I will be waiting for darkness at noon
