Story Behind the Song
This song was one of the very first songs written by aiti maa. The lyrics originated from a strange poem that Caroline wrote while sitting in Colleen's room in res, while borrowing her computer. The lyrics evolved into the quirky little tune you hear here. We weren't sure how people would take our stuff when we first started, but everyone we played this song for started humming it back to us and requesting it whenever we were around -- so we thought, hmmm... must be something there, so it kept us inspired to keep going!!:D
Lyrics
Holy Eyes
Holy Eyes in holy water
Sitting on my dishwasher
Sitting on my dishwasher
I don't do no miracle mile
I don't make no miracle smile
I want it now
I need it now
The world needs you now
Let it rain holy water
It all came from my dishwasher
I just put the sunlight in
Now the world is bubbling
Wash away
All your sin
I want it now
I need it now
The world needs you now
Holy, holy, holy
Yelling, screaming, kicking, fighting
Hell ain't never been so exciting
Yelling, screaming, kicking, fighting
Hell ain't never been so inviting
I want it now
I need it now
The world needs you now
Wash away
Wash away
I know that it's hard
Wash away
Wash away
I know that it's hard
Holy Eyes in holy water
Holy Eyes in holy water
Holy Eyes in holy water..
