All Summer Long

Ashley Stove All Summer Long Lyrics
1.Amen Grasshopper

Your words dig in under my skin
I try to get at them but i'm faint
I'm tainted,
Lightheaded like animation
All over me
I think i'm gonna make a run for it until i'm safe

With your eyes to the sky
Your grasshopper hands are starting fires

Too sweet you sweet thing
You appeal to my vanity
I'm enthralled, you're like a cheap perfume
You're science you're the modern moon
All over me
I think i better make a run for it until i'm safe

With your eyes to the sky
Your grasshopper hands are starting fires
Along the way
You start them so carefully
I'm starting to think you really got it out for me


2.Blue Crop Duster

She blasted straight up like a blue crop duster
A tiny vulture to where the air is fresh and clear
In her blue bathing suit with the green and yellow fruit
I hear bells around the sound of her voice from where she's at

Helicopter hummingbird
Can you stay at my window and tell me what you know
Concentration beyond my means
You are kept afloat on air by your sheer wingspeed

The happy music from the blue and yellow tubes
Made it a ballet for me and a sound track for you
Where do you rest in your nest of spider web
Do you see the lights of my house from your bed

Helicopter hummingbird
Can you stay at my window and tell me what you heard
Concentration beyond my means
You are kept afloat on air by your sheer wingspeed


3.A Secret Secret

I've got a secret secret
It's coming out to meet you
Now it wants you to hear it through

It woke me up at home
It won't leave me alone
I've got it in my speakers, too

And it feels like a smooth velvet balloon
It's starting to move
It's travelling up my throat too soon
Yeah it's a crusha crush on you

I'm coming in my car
I drive to where you are
To see you slowly recovering

Sutures and alka seltzer
You wouldn't let anyone help you
You've got control of everything

And i think you should stay
Don't want you to go
I'm on the way
I'm never lost as long as you are ok
And i think you should know
I've got a crush on you


4.If You're Going Away

Green branches rain-soaked roads
Make you want go away
I want to go too
Put this city behind me and you

Blank pages
Fill them up
With the things you want to say
It shouldn't take long
From the things you've said so far today

Blue sofa cradle me in your arms and let me sleep
Disintegrating, fading to another street

If you're going away i'm going too
I've been here too long
If you're afraid of the dark then so am i
Your tractor beam is too strong

Headed south
It feels good
It gets warmer all the time
Passing through states is
Good enough to make me feel on time

A new direction
A new song
You've got stories you can spin
While i'm fading of to sleep i hear the soundtrack fading in


5.Devo Freak

Dance moves all summer long
You're sticking in my head
As soon as i get down a step or two
You change them up again

Machine, gotta lotta chrome
And so much metal tone
And a silver suit
And red headphones

You gotta like a girl like that
A little smooth a little out of tune
My devo freak

Back at school i'm trying to talk to you
You got such an attitude
It's phony, but i'm only a mortal too
And i'm trying to choose
And i want you because of your dance moves
And you're lonely
And you're only a mortal too

And you gotta like a girl like that
A little smooth a little out of tune
My devo freak


6.Three Days Since We Spoke

It's been three days since we spoke
Since you thought of me
I can tell by the way the air smells
The way the earth rotates

And it hurt my side
When i recognized it's all over now
And when i start to vilify you
It gets closer to the end

But i'm not waiting for you conclusion
You just want that one solution
You took out all the fun
Now i see how far you've come

In the wintertime i smell diesel burning
It's a happy smell
And the chainsaw sound off in the background
Lifts my spirits up

I saw something yesterday that you would've liked too
If i didn't dread hearing your opinion
I'd call to mention it to you

But i'm not waiting for you conclusion
You just want that one solution
You took out all the fun
Now i see how far you've come

From the daylight into the nighttime into the day
Careful consideration comes too late
I'm not waiting for your conclusion today
Cause you just want that one solution
Now you make your own conclusions


7.You Stole Something

You stole something that i can't put my finger on
But i know it was you
So don't come around trying to look so smooth

You took something that i'm missing but i don't know what
Could be a record or a ticking tock
Don't know what i should do

I'll find out just what it was
You can't hide it cause cause cause cause
I'll catch you with your guard down soon
Pretty soon i'm gonna get to you

You can run away but i'll catch up to you someday
It's not really a big thing to say
And then we'll see

I'll stop by one day when you're wearing what you got
Or when you listen to the second side
And then we'll see

I'll find out


8.Out Into The Race

(or, suv protest song #3)

Oh, out into the races
Oh, out into the cold
Where the cars look like bad belly dancers
They try to get a hold of me

But i move to the side
Back and forth between i glide
Using moves they've never seen
In my metal death machine

Relaxing later in my seat
Warming myself with the heat
I remember previous mistakes
I become the thing i hate

I got time to waste
I got my own blue place
You can keep your flutes and snakes
More metal saves

Protect protect myself
A suit of armor for my health
A nut in a nutshell of metal
Everyone else is expendable i guess
They are buried in my pedals

Now i'm moving to the side
Back and forth between i glide
Using moves they've never seen
I drive my metal death machine


9.Don't Wreck Your Car

Morningshine
I don't see your kind much but i like it like this
If you wreck your car
I won't get to see you in the morning

If i was a fly on the wall
I'd watch over you like a fly would do
I'd show you how
To make the air a force field around you

Your car is a comet
I put a spell on it
A force field around you
Paint glass metal
Kiss kiss a pedal
Magic car haiku
But i like it like this


10.A Pretty Day
