Grey
The Crispies Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Black's not my favorite color
No it's not for me
White on white and I never
Ever get it for free
Yeah it's not my favorite color
And I wear this cheap skin cause it keeps me intact
Grey is my favorite color
Oh can you teach me how to react

Grey
Grey
Grey

Yeah it's not my favorite color
And the people act strange when they're lied to
White on white I don't wanna
Get it all for free
Grey is my favorite color
And I know I need some help, but I dont wanna be saved
I like to be stuck in my corner
Oh can you teach me how to behave

Grey
Grey
Grey

Grey is my favorite color
You know that my favorite color is grey
Grey is my favorite color
You know that my favorite color is grey
Grey is my favorite color
You know that my favorite color is grey
Grey is my favorite color
You know that my favorite color is grey
Grey Grey Grey Grey Grey Grey Grey
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah

Grey
