Touch of Grey (Live at Greek Theatre, Berkeley, CA, 7/13/1984)

Must be getting early, I've been running late

Paint-by-number morning sky looks so phony

Dawn is breaking everywhere, light a candle, i don't care

Sally can't, of course, I glare but it's alright

I will get by

I will get by

I will get by

I will survive

I see you've got your fist out, say your piece and get out

Yes, I get the gist of it, but it's alright

It's nothing anyway, that was all you meant to say

Every silver lining's got a touch of grey

I will get by

I will get by

I will get by

I will survive

It's a lesson to me

Abels and the bakers and the seeds

The ABC's we all think of

To try to win a little love

It's a lesson to me

The alphas and the east and the free

The ABC's we all must ace

To try to win a little grace

See the cloud is in our rears, the dog has not been fed in years

It's even worse than it appears but it's alright

How he's giving kerosene, he can read at 17

The words he knows are all obscene but it's alright

I will get by

I will get by

I will get by

I will survive

Shoe is on the hand it fits, pretty nothing much to it

Whistle through your teeth and spit, it's alright

Oh well, anyway, it wasn't meant anyway

That's all I meant to say, it's alright

I will get by

I will get by

I will get by

I will survive

We will get by

We will get by

We will get by

We will survive

We will get by

We will get by

We will get by

We will survive

We will get by

We will get by

We will get by

We will survive
