Slowing to a crawl
A million shades of grey
It's sure to fall, a cannonball
But be that as it may
This isn't meant to be
I just don't fit the part
There's a laundry list of reasons I should give it up before I go and break my own heart
Let's call a spade a spade
I'm not the Hollywood sort
I'm too young, I'm too old, I'm to strange, I'm too bold
I'm just a little too short
Slowing to a crawl
A million shades of grey
It's sure to fall, a cannonball
But be that as it may
You know I won't keep still
I don't accept your truce
I've got a firecracker feeling I'm about to hit the ceiling
And I'll break right on through
Slowing to a crawl
A million shades of grey
It's sure to fall, a cannonball
But be that as it may
Slowing to a crawl, yeah, yeah
A million shades of grey, ay, ay
It's sure to fall
A cannon, cannon, cannonball
Slowing to a crawl
A million shades of grey
It's sure to fall, a cannonball
But be that as it may
Yeah, yeah
A million shades of grey
It's sure to fall, a cannonball
But be that as it may
