lyrics for life in one chord

Dialing A Prayer (Carter/Fits)

Well you wind me up, just to let me go
To see if what's promised is really so
I'm your teddy bear, I'm your living doll
I'm your big red flexible rubber ball

But it feels like I'm dialing a prayer
Oh, it's like no one's there
Oh, dialing a prayer
Oh, it's like no one's there

Taint your beauty with your lies
Oh...drive me away!

But it feels like I'm dialing a prayer
Oh it's like no one's there
Ahh...dialing a prayer
Oh, it's like no one's there
Dialing a prayer
Oh it's like no one, no one's there


All That That Brings (Carter/Fits)

Stolen kiss in goodbye circumstances
Oh, seemed to be hello
My mouth won't move, silence sings I want you
Alone, and along
With all that that brings
Yeah, all that that brings

Now honesty is one big lie to me
When I can hide behind the truth
Of lost lorn longing, torn me up and coming
In a blue view of you, of you
And all that that brings
Yeah, all that that brings

And I'm breaking the finger that points
Yeah I'm breaking, I'm breaking
It's a short term shock, it won't stop
these hands so full from reaching
Oh from reaching

Now don't talk to me about honesty
It's one big lie to me
Cause I can hide behind the truth

And if I were to die of pleasure
With looks to kill, you'd do
Yeah you'd do, ah you'd do,
but if you would then that's entirely up to you
And I am full to overflow but I'm willing to loan
any room, any home to you
Yeah you, ah you
And all that that brings
Yeah all that that brings


Sparkle That Shines (Brough/Fits)

It's a million to one that I won't take you home
'Cross the moon in scattered light
As we gaze at the stars in these fashionless years
With the memories all falling round
I got changes in mind, but I'm falling behind
In a vacuum of loveless nights
Stare at the wall and feel nothing at all
'Midst the glitter of glamorous years

What will we feel when everyone feels no pain?
Where will we turn when everyone turns away?

I don't feel the sparkle that shines through our eyes
I don't feel anymore

It's a million to one that I won't take you home
To the sound of silent fears
etc.


She Speeds (Carter/Fits)

And I quietly count with her gone
Name any number and I'm counting beyond
Playing it coolly, though you know it isn't even really there
Caress one night away, I was looking for more
More, more, more

But she
She speeds
Elusive as a thief in the night, she's stealing away
She rides the wind, she burn, burns
Yeah she rides the wind, she burn, burns

And her speeding, her freedom's what's appealing to me
to stop her in her tracks
Match an act with flat tactics of attack
These eyes may be steady but my cigarette is shaking
With way deep saying, why don't you leap in
But she, she goes, so no
Leave it, but you know at times it seems
oh I need her more than my mind
Yeah, I need her more than my mind
Oh I need her more than my mind
