The Great Gray Blockade

Yeah, I looked outside and the color was thin But now the walls are lookin at me, where do I begin It was charcoal gray just a perfect cube Like a bad forecast from a TV tube Fifteen foot high but the surface is glass And there's a thousand angry faces moving too fast They started pressin' hard where the screens should've been Right across the concrete showin' me the mean Hey, what's the function? Why are you so loud? But they just kept screamin from the cosmic shroud Yeah, they want the light wants the space in my head Better move my toes before they pull me to the dead, 'cause Chase me Big gray box on the loose With the faces of judgment ain't no excuse It's the Great Gray Blockade, yeah they want the whole street Givin' me the stink-eye from under my feet Wants my money wants my soul Gonna put me inside and lose the control Ooh-ooh-ooh, hear the vibration It's the cost of my desperation Man, I know those people I see 'em every day They're the ones you owe the debts you gotta pay No windows, no escape they just scratchin' the pane They're the voices of failure drivin' you insane They ain't got eyes but they see all your mistakes They ain't got a mouth but they tell you what it takes Heard 'em whisperin' accusations on the AM dial Says, "Get inside, kid you're guilty for a while" Hey, what's the function? Why are you so loud? But they just kept screamin from the cosmic shroud Yeah, they want the light wants the space in my head Better move my toes before they pull me to the dead, 'cause Chase Me Big gray box on the loose With the faces of judgment, ain't no excuse It's the Great Gray Blockade, yeah, they want the whole street Givin' me the stink-eye from under my feet Wants my money, wants my soul Gonna put me inside and lose the control Ooh-ooh-ooh, hear the vibration It's the cost of my desperation Maybe they're just lonely maybe they're my friends Maybe they're the people who saw how my life ends But every time I slow down I hear the click Gotta keep movin before the faces stick They're right here inside my head Chase Me Gotta make them stop
