I want to take a street car downtown
Read Henry Miller and wander around
And drink some Guinness from a tin
'Cause my UI check has just come in
Ah where have you been because
CHORUS: Everything is coming up rosy and grey
The wind is cold but the smell of snow warms me today
And your smile is fine and it's just like mine and it won't go away
'Cause everything is rosy and grey
CHORUS
Well I've been told that there's a sucker born every day
Well I wonder who, yes I wonder who
Maybe the one who doesn't realize there's a thousand shades of grey
Cause I know that's true, yes I do, I know that's true yeah
I know that's true, how 'bout you?
