Every house on the street
|
Will get on their feet
|
Carry the sleepers out into the weather, from the violet cities
|
The violet cities
|
|
They'll turn on their lights and open their eyes
|
Drop to their knees and they'll drink from the river in the violet cities
|
The violet cities
|
|
On and on they'll lead us on and
|
On and on they'll lead us on
|
We'll all get high and walk off
|
Into the country, ridiculous country
|
Where the blue sky will smother us
|
Believe me, believe me, believe me
|
The blue sky will smother us
|
|
They'll open their doors and they'll sing to the sun
|
We don't know anymore how to glitter we come
|
From the violet cities
|
The violet cities
|
|
If we stand there and stare and everyone's come
|
They may never find out that we came here at all
|
From the violet cities
|
The violet cities
|
|
On and on they'll lead us on and
|
On and on they'll lead us on
|
We'll all get high and walk off
|
Into the country, ridiculous country
|
Where the blue sky will smother us
|
Believe me, believe me, believe me
|
The blue sky will smother us
|
Believe me, believe me, believe me
|
