Lyrics »

I hate you I love you Leave Don't go away I cant decide if I like your face Or if I wish it would stray You're a child but you're malicious You're sweet but don't remember my name Heads you win and tails I'm lost Love equals pain CHORUS I am drifting without an anchor Through your ambiguous region A strange continent immune to all reason And I'm flattered by your grey matter Inside my skin, I feel your tongue It's telling me I'm dirty and licking my bones A scrape against silence, a knife across a plate Makes the sound of need on hate CHORUS And I do not understand Why a woman can't just love a man You're amusing, you're a real cool show With your meat hooks and barbed wire carnival You got gold dust in your pocket You got moth holes in your soul From too many false teeth and greasy flash bulbs CHORUS

Add your review of Grey Matter here. INTRIGUED ON GREY MATER Review written by greenpoet, January 24th, 2007 This song "Grey Matter" is quite intriguing for me when I heard it and read the lyrics. Does Jewel talks about her mind here? Somehow critical over things that's running inside her thoughts,like when she does her introspection. When I saw her sung it live on one of her concerts, I can see pain and anguish written all over her face and I felt heavy emotions from that particular song. Somehow, it intrigues me of the real meaning. Which one in the hollogram could we say, the real meaning of the song?
