Lyrics
MAN WITH GREY
music and lyrics by Joe Olivier
Judy Jucket took her bucket to the street they call the main .. road.
She did...mary jane, co-caine, her-o-ane----to her it's all the same.
Quick change..she's at work demanding more of a wage in her pay.
"No way"...says the man with the hand ... and now she's up again.
I see her roaming the streets
I see her direct the streets
I see her paving the streets
It goes back...back...back...to the man with gray.
Billy Boy......had a ploy of promises that were a decoy.
He got in.....sin after sin.....and continued on that run....
Billy's cabinet was full of many fruits that'd only rot-away
Now Billy's out...and I found out he sleeps the streets w/ Judy.
I see him roaming the streets
I see him direct the streets
I see him paving the streets
It goes back...back...back...to the man with gray
