Debora
Diet Lite Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In that buckskin back alley avenue
We were told from the start these days they never would last
Yet despite our best efforts I think that's coming to pass
Yeah
I see that twinkle in your eye
And it's looking like you're trying to start a fight
I said fine alright I'll occupy the timeTo define what's right outside the line
Let it go
With it all
Won't you please let me get along
And now you're walkin down the street
You know Debora you should be standing here with me
Slipping a dozen truths into that one big lie
Sure don't make no difference when we're riding on your time
I'm walking behind
Leaving the door open too
Your style's dime a dozen but it's working for you
You're looking pretty smart and pretty mean
Debora I crave your sympathy
Let it go
With it all
Won't you please let me get along

Get it on and right on through
Continue moving forward and making progress
In that buckskin back alley avenue
In the unconventional and hidden areas of life
We were told from the start these days they never would last
From the beginning, it was warned that these times would not endure
Yet despite our best efforts I think that's coming to pass
Even though we tried our best, it seems that prediction is becoming true
Yeah
Indeed
I see that twinkle in your eye
I notice a mischievous gleam in your eyes
And it's looking like you're trying to start a fight
It appears that you're attempting to provoke a confrontation
I said fine alright I'll occupy the time
Okay, I'll engage and fill the time
To define what's right outside the line
To determine what lies beyond the norm
Let it go
Release your grip on it
With it all
With everything that weighs you down
Won't you please let me get along
Could you allow me to move forward peacefully
And now you're walkin down the street
At this moment, you're strolling down the street
You know Debora you should be standing here with me
Debora, you should be by my side
Slipping a dozen truths into that one big lie
Concealing numerous truths within a major falsehood
Sure don't make no difference when we're riding on your time
It doesn't really matter when we're under your control
I'm walking behind
I'm following along
Leaving the door open too
Allowing an opportunity for access as well
Your style's dime a dozen but it's working for you
Your approach may be common, but it's effective for you
You're looking pretty smart and pretty mean
You appear intelligent and slightly intimidating
Debora I crave your sympathy
Debora, I long for your understanding
Let it go
Release your grip on it
With it all
With everything that weighs you down
Won't you please let me get along
Could you allow me to move forward peacefully
