Dielya Downtown Lyrics by ​sElf

The Half-Baked Serenade

1997

[Verse 1]
We were down like the Hindenburg, baby
With a Coke and a smile
I felt compelled to leave due to the fact
That something flew into my eye
After coaxing the girl and spanning the globe
I'm sure I'll look back differently
With many acres of contemptment and design
Liquid filth and violent mood swings
And oh yes, she won the west
Putting on the Sunday best
With the will of a bottle and a false sense
Of direction, protection, Dielya

[Chorus]
Dielya, Dielya
Dielya, gotta get you out of a town so dull

[Verse 2]
And with the neon coast straight out of Miami Vice
It is not so inviting as it was about ten or so ago
All the CD bins, a podunk collection full of Rob Base and MC Shan
All the Airwalks and cardigans and a man with intoxication

[Chorus]
Dielya, Dielya
Dielya, gotta get you out of a town so dull
Dielya, Dielya
Dielya, your gleam has completely penetrated my skull

[Bridge]
Long after the schooling of coolness that took place at the sapphire supper
I found myself stoned, miserable, and face to face with a beautiful drearie
She was staring holes into my skull with that magical power only drearies possess
I call it the "stare into my eyes until all you can think about is me" look
This particular one was very skilled in this, much more so than talking

[Outro]
Downtown, downtown, downtown
Downtown, downtown
Downtown, downtown, downtown
Downtown, downtown
Downtown, downtown, downtown
Downtown, downtown
Downtown, downtown, downtown
Downtown, downtown
Downtown, downtown, downtown
Downtown, downtown
Downtown, downtown, downtown
Downtown, downtown
Downtown, downtown, downtown
Downtown, downtown
