About
Albert Fish the notorious Grey Man of New York
Lyrics
Verse 1
Knuckles pale on the market fence
Sunday clothes and a patient grin
He smiled at the children playing by the well
Asked for directions to the chapel bell
Pre-Chorus
Nobody saw the shadow lean
Nobody heard the letter scream
Chorus
The Grey Man walks the crooked lane
Soft white gloves and hollow veins
The Grey Man hums a nursery rhyme
Leaves no tracks just borrowed time
Post-Chorus
Grey grey grey
The Grey Man
Grey grey grey
The Grey Man
Verse 2
Came back to her house at midnight
Razor thin and razor bright
Wrote a confession in a borrowed hand
Mailed it straight to the promised land
Pre-Chorus
They found the bones beneath the stair
They found the note that said he cared
Chorus
The Grey Man walks the crooked lane
Soft white gloves and hollow veins
The Grey Man hums a nursery rhyme
Leaves no tracks just borrowed time
Post-Chorus
Grey grey grey
The Grey Man
Grey grey grey
The Grey Man
Bridge
Pins in the mattress sewing his name
Grandfather gentle with the flame
Pins in the mattress sewing his name
Grandfather gentle with the flame
Breakdown
Cold room cold room
He said pray
Cold room cold room
He said pray
Chorus
The Grey Man walks the crooked lane
Soft white gloves and hollow veins
The Grey Man hums a nursery rhyme
Leaves no tracks just borrowed time
Post-Chorus
Grey grey grey
The Grey Man
Grey grey grey
The Grey Man
