dishwalla - counting blue cars

Must've been mid afternoon
I could tell by how far the child's shadow stretched out and
He walked with a purpose
In his sneakers, down the street
He had, many questions
Like children often do
He said,
"Tell me all your thoughts on God?"
"Tell me am I very far?"

Must've been late afternoon
On our way the sun broke free of the clouds
We count only blue cars
Skip the cracks, in the street
And ask many questions
Like children often do
We said,
"Tell me all your thoughts on God"?
"'Cause I would really like to meet her.
And ask her why we're who we are.
Tell me all your thoughts on God,
Cause I am on my way to see her.
So tell me am I very far -
Am I very far now?"

Its getting cold picked up the pace
How our shoes make hard noises in this place
Our clothes are stained
We pass many, cross eyed people
And ask many questions
Like children often do

"Tell me all your thoughts on God?
'Cause I would really like to meet her.
And ask her why we're who we are.
Tell me all your thoughts on God?
'Cause I am on my way to see her.
So tell me am I very far?"
Am I very far now
Am I very far now
Am I very far now

dishwalla - angels or devils

This is the last time
that I'm ever gonna come here tonight
this is the last time - I will fall
into a place that fails us all - inside

I can see the pain in you
I can see the love in you
but fighting all the demons will take time
it will take time

the angels they burn inside for us
are we ever
are we ever gonna learn to fly
the devils they burn inside of us
are we ever gonna come back down
come around
I'm always gonna worry about the things that could make us cold

this is the last time
that I'm ever gonna give in tonight
are there angels or devils crawling here?
I just want to know what blurs and what is clear - to see

still I can see the pain in you
and I can see the love in you
and fighting all the demons will take time
it will take time

the angels they burn inside for us
are we ever
are we ever gonna learn to fly
the devils they burn inside of us
are we ever gonna come back down - come around
I'm always gonna worry about the things that could break us

if I was to give in - give it up
- and then
take a breath - make it deep
cause it might be the last one you get
be the last one
that could make us cold
you know that they could make us cold
I'm always gonna worry about the things that could make us cold

dishwalla - ease the moment

Say that this life's unkind
Blasted out silent mind and quiet pain
They say we run with a demon's lie
But sometimes they break

And sometimes the angels
Keep us safe from drowning
So find a reason to live
Silence, love is in reach
They say that my love is
I won't go away
And all of my demons die
They just fade away

They just fade away

Say that this life is kind
If you ease up the moment
And shine like the sun
They say we run with a demon's lie
But sometimes they break

And sometimes the angels
Keep us safe from drowning
So find a reason to look
To the sky, keep it in reach
Say that my love is
I won't go away
Move in a moments kind
They just fade away
They just fade away

(interlude)

They say that this life's unkind
They rise as the demons lie
Fade away
Just fade away
And all of my demons die
They just fade away
(say that my love is
I won't go away)

And all of my demons die
I just fade away

(say that my love is
I won't go away)

And all of my demons die
Just fade away

dishwalla - policy of truth

You had something to hide
Should have hidden it, shouldn't you
Now you're not satisfied
With what you're being put through

It's just time to pay the price
For not listening to advice
And deciding in your youth
On the policy of truth

Things could be so different now
It used to be so civilised
You will always wonder how
It could have been if you'd only lied

It's too late to change events
It's time to face the consequence
For delivering the proof
In the policy of truth

Never again
Is what you swore
The time before
Never again
Is what you swore
The time before

Now you're standing there tongue tied
You'd better learn your lesson well
Hide what you have to hide
And tell what you have to tell
You'll see your problems multiplied
If you continually decide
To faithfully pursue
The policy of truth

Never again
Is what you swore
The time before

dishwalla - only for so long

How many times has this gone on?
Call 'cause it's just been too long
Say it's good to hear it's going fine
Check that you're still featured in my mind

Tell me what you want to hear
And I'll play along
Tell me when you want me near
And I'll play along
But only for so long

Show me scars where it began
And I will come with violins
I don't need a clock to know it's wasted time
What's your mood ring doing now?

Tell me if you want me near
And I'll play along
Tell me what you love to fear
And I'll play along
But only for so long
Only for so long
Only for so long

Tell me if you want me near
And I'll play along
Tell me what you love to fear
And I'll play along

dishwalla - nashville skyline

Don't go on
looking for the love
in the illusion of it all
the answers in the dream
cause I have been through mire and confusion
I am free
as far as I can see

is Nashville skyline
underneath it all
you yourself are free

14 hours ago
I was living in a dream
I was living for the scene
I was floating high above
cause I have been through mire and confusion
I am free

as far as I can see
is Nashville skyline
underneath it all
you yourself are free
floating high above
the Nashville skyline

and underneath it all
yourself are free
you yourself are
forevermore is the love that you need to believe
and you yourself are there
floating high above
the Nashville skyline

dishwalla - until i wake up

I rest my head
Between the bed and sky
Download my dread
Disarm my mind, make it dry

Nothing in motion, and I?m satisfied
No disappointment, until I wake up
Don?t want to wake up

Into clear space
Vivid vision, see her shape
At my bedside, beam up my mind please

dishwalla - miss emma peel

I come home late at night
On the floor to turn you on
I check for tint and Technicolor
After you there is no other
Your brown hair is my connection
Connects my resurrection
And everyone else is just a harlot
A Star Search spokes model starlet

Miss Emma Peel
Black boots kick high at his face
One last look at the grace of
Miss Emma Peel
Catch the curve of your leather heel
Before he blacks out
That's another one down for
Miss Emma Peel

I sit beside her in the evening
And watch her rerun secrets by my ears
Cat eyes watch with British humor
Cause she's a mod-feel sixties savior
Your brown hair is my connection
Connects my resurrection
And everyone else is just a harlot
A Star Search spokes model starlet

Miss Emma Peel
Black boots kick high at his face
One last look at the grace of
Miss Emma Peel
Catch the curve of your leather heel
Before he blacks out
That's another one down for

For Miss Emma Peel
For Miss Emma Peel
For Miss Emma Peel
For Miss Emma Peel

dishwalla - candleburn

on Vineland past the candle shrine that burns on every night
for someone
she lets herself go
like an angel in the snow
she lays down on her back
down on her back - she goes

take me over when I'm gone
take me over make me strong
take me over when I'm gone
will they burn for me

on Vineland past the candle shrine that melts into the street design
she waits - for someone
tonight she'll give herself away
she'll break apart all by herself
its so easy how we come undone

take me over when I'm gone
take me over make me strong
take me over when I'm gone
will they burn for me

she pulls me in - strips me down
she pulls me in - turns me out
she pulls me in - strips me down

take me over when I'm gone
take me over make me strong
take me over when I'm gone
will they burn for me
will they burn for me

dishwalla - far away

just the other day
i was looking for myself again
trying to put back all the pieces
back to the way they were
sometimes it's not so easy
when you have so many voices
tell you what to do
i think i've got it now
but i can't be too sure

far away as we shoot across the sky
far away to the corners of my mind
sooner or later
it will slowly come back to me

if i could build a spaceship,
would you fly away with me
or would you stay
a million miles an hour
flying circles as we orbit round the earth
if i stuck my head out the window
do you think it'd clear my head
or woul it burst
i guess it's all the same
but at least it wouldn't hurt

far away as we shoot across the sky
far away to the corners of my mind

and the voices in my head
i think they've finally gone away
far away

sooner or later
it will slowly come back to me

dishwalla - stay awake

Staring at the wall because you know it understands
And boy you wonder about everything that could have been
It's getting later all the time but you're still wide awake
And boy you wonder, if you'll ever sleep again

Hey, hey, gotta stay awake
Don't let it slip away
Don't think that they're not waiting
Hey, hey, gotta stay awake
As your mind is peeled away
But they still seem to find you anyway

Sift your hands through broken glass
Through your shattered crystal ball and boy you wonder
If you'll ever see again

Cause every time you close your eyes
You know they're right behind you and you wonder
If you'll ever live again
Don't make a sound cause they're living all around
With their shiny eyes and their shiny minds
And they're living everywhere
Watching every move I make
Gotta stay awake

dishwalla - every little thing

Let me in
to see you in the morning light
to get me on and all along the tears they come
see all come
I want you to believe in life
but I get the strangest feeling that you've gone away
will you find out who you are
too late
to change?

I wish I could be
every little thing you wanted
all the time
ooow
I wish I could be
every little thing you wanted
all the time
sometimes

lift me up
just lift me up don't make a sound
and let me hold you up before you hit the Ground
oh
see all come
you say your all right
but I get the strangest feeling
that you've gone away
you've gone away
and will you find out who you are
too late
to change?

I wish I could be
every little thing you wanted
all the time
ooow
I wish I could be
every little thing you wanted
hing you wanted
all the time

Don't give me up
don't give me up tonight
or
soon nothing will be right at all
salvation
will you find out who you are
too late
to change?
too late
to change?

I wish I could be
every little thing you wanted
all the time
ooow
I wish I could be
every little thing you wanted
every little thing you wanted
all the time
this time
every little thing you wanted
all the time at all
and I every little thing you wanted
all the time

but I get the strangest feeling that you've gone away....

dishwalla - pretty babies

Everything about the world is sex
And it's a message, of popular culture
Telling all our children how to do it right
And all through their innocence you may ask yourself why?
why the need?
why the need to eroticize our children?

Oh our pretty babies
How they're ready
Oh our pretty babies
Oh how they're not ready

Just down the street in beautiful
There is tension, for a popular child
And it doesn't get much worse than that
In little beds in little rooms
Are the lost things, are the silver spoons
Why the need?
Can't you see all the damage that it's doing?

Oh our pretty babies
Oh how they're ready
Oh our pretty babies
Oh how they're not ready

And does it bother you to see her
Wrapped up?
Why the need?
And why the need to eroticize our children?
Oh our pretty babies
Oh how they're ready
Oh our pretty babies
Oh how they're not ready

dishwalla - somewhere in the middle

I was out the other day
And i saw you in your big black car
And i was waving as you were passing
Cause i know who you are
You had this look that of an angel
It was such a bad disguise
Did you think for a second i would not realize

Tripping hard falling down onto the ground
Cause i can't stand up
And i can't fall down
Cause i'm somewhere in the middle of this

I was out the other night
And i saw you so we had a fight
It was late and i was lonely
And its such a long way home
So i asked you if you'd join me
For a single last call drink
So you turned and bought us 2
And you didn't even blink
You had this look that of an angel
It was such a bad disguise
When you drink it makes you angry
When i drink i want you more and more and more

Tripping hard falling down onto the ground
Cause i can't stand up
And i can't fall down
Cause i'm somewhere in the middle of this

Well i find it hard
I always tried to find the sane life
But i don't like the way things are
And i keep falling to my knees
Somewhere in the middle of this

dishwalla - coral sky

Summertime, it's been almost a year since Coral Sky
All the time, I could tell that you were just untouchable
So I left alone (said I had to go)
Made it like I didn't care

Hey, don't let the sun go down
Don't let it end here now
Cause you're right, and I'm everything you're not
Could I ever be the one

Summertime, I can't believe she's in my head again
Don't you confuse
I might put up a fight, but I'm not bulletproof
So I left alone (just me and my Patron)
Summer dies and so could I

Hey, don't let the sun go down
Don't let it end here now
Cause you're right, and I'm everything, everything, everything I'm not

Hey, don't let the sun go down
Don't let it end here now
Cause you're right, and i'm everything, everything, everything i'm not
(cause you're right) you're wrong, and i'm everything you're not
Cause you're right, i'm wrong
Could i ever be the one
Be the one
