Lyrics

Daughter of Zion Once precious princess Left her father's house To walk streets that never rest Maybe they'll hear me in the metropolis So I'm sending out an SOS Fighting with her Ta She wants out of this mess And those big city lights Might brighten up the darkness You know that I'm tired and you know that I'm stressed You can't stop me and you can't stop this You could call the police try to make an arrest Today is the day that I repossess Leaving on the first bus that I can get Now its rings around the eyes sopping wet from rain droplets Window shopping for some solace No address and penniless That's the price that you pay for running away from the stress Feeling the pain likes the dance by the DJ Reminds me of a time when things were ok Frightened by her own shadow Now she wants to go home Many names for the one God Trotting on, though the façade You were all my children Got a dig for that feeling Love will break through the concealment Strip away the serpent's skin We came to win Dispatch the troops Send out the captain My gem is held captive in the dungeon Don't come back again until you end the mission If it takes a long time Don't lose the vision If you're stuck Check the blueprint Look within Reflection Got to find the rhythm Won't you please return child Where you been? She says I can't come home because he won't let me in And besides we don't need no more friction Used to look so nice, how'd you get so thin? With a heart like ice, it's a heart of sin Skin white like a ghost with a pale complexion Pray to God for the dead we need resurrection Don't you know wherever you go thick and thin You are still my children Since you've been gone my soul's been hurting Frightened by her own shadow Now she wants to go home Many names for one God Trotting on, though the façade You were all my children Got a dig for that feeling Love will break down this concealment Like confident heathen from jack the coat tail Singing to the top to refill the temple Jumping up and down, up in a circle Like a city kid in grounds at the brothel Singing to the top to refill the temple Jumping up and down, up in a circle We want redemption now let's get out of the exile Man was rock sucking a wall lying Porsche drawn out The mass star standing demanding And pop landing on his forehead Wondering why his companion went into hiding We spend all trunk through the summer children can't impede impress and kisses up You phone the brother long You keep knocking but there's nobody home You can knock knock knock but there's nobody home, oh oh oh Wandering through this world We are all just boys and girls Many names for one God Trotting on, through the façade You were all my children Got a dig for that feeling Love will break down this concealment
