Paul Draper
Grey House
I lived on the underground
On the edge of society
There were people ignoring me
And it made me contemptuous
So I travelled the overground
And tried to just integrate
And I smile and I just said hello
Pretended I’m not dying inside
And I’m living in a grey house
Living like the monkey do
I lived in a grey house with you

I’m feeling like this monkey’s insane, feeling the monkey
I’m feeling like this monkey’s insane, feeling the monkey

Life is a gas you don’t know where you’re at in the Grey House
We had so much fun, didn’t kill everyone in the Grey House

So I look for some solitude
But I never had the aptitude, for it
I lived in the ordinary
So I tried to suspend that too
So I painted my skirting boards
And greyed my environment
And I’ve learned all my lessons well
And locked myself up with you

And I’m living in a grey house
Living like the monkey do
I lived in a grey house with you

I’m feeling like this monkey’s insane, feeling the monkey
I’m feeling like this monkey’s insane, feeling the monkey

Life is a gas you don’t know where you’re at in the Grey House
We had so much fun, didn’t kill everyone in the Grey House
Life is a gas you don’t know where you’re at in the Grey House
We had so much fun, didn’t kill everyone in the Grey House
