Dispatch The Troops

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Daughter of Zion precious

Left hers father house

To walk streets that never rest

Maybe they'll hear me in metropolis

So I'm sending an S.O.S.

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 eyes sopping wet from rain droplets

Window shopping for some solace

No address and penniless

That's the price you pay for running away from the stress

Feeling the pain like 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 one G-d

Trotting on, through the façade

You were all my children

Got a dig for that feeling

Love will break through concealment

Strip away the serpent's skin

We came to win

Dispatch the troops

Send the captain

My gem is held captive in the dungeon

Don't come back till 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

Uses 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 g-d 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 hearting

Frightened by her own shadow

Now she wants to go home

Many names for one God

Trotting on, through the façade

You were all my children

Got a dig for that feeling

Love will break through concealment

Wondering through this world

We are just boys and girls

Many names for one G-d

Trotting on, through the facade

Like Hasidic kids in crowns at the Kotel

Singing to their Ta

To rebuild the temple

Jumpin' up and down up in a circle

Like Hasidic kids in crowns at the Kotel

Singing to their Ta

To re-build the temple

Jumpin' up and down up in a circle we want

Redemption now let's get out of the exile

The man was knock, sockin' the wall

Lion paw strong arm the last man

Standing demanding with palms

Landing on his forehead wondering why his

Companion went into hiding

Whisperin' love songs to the stones

Wile children chanting, panting

Breaths and kisses

Microphone all alone

You keep knocking but there;s nobody home

You can knock knock knock but There's no body home

Oh oh oh

Wondering through this world

We are all just boys and girls

Many names for one G-d

Trotting on, through the facade

You were all my children

Got a dig for that feeling

Love can break down this concealment
