PURPLE PEOPLE

Violet violence violins decrescendo

The silence of the sirens saying secrets in my window

The window knows waves are simply just the slaves

Of the echoes of their power pushing forgotten graves

Grave digger grave digger ruby red find

Sell the broken bones and gems and buy yourself a mind

Think well, oh well, maybe it's too late

I'll trade the gems for my guilt and make a cleaner slate

Red, yellow, black, or white union in the steeple

But don't you dare forget about the purple people

Purple people pray that pipers pay the prince's papers

Now the Moon is murdered making the sun another faker

Rise, rise, rise, rise

The purple people they will rise

Clash the colors and start a riot

We can't see, we can't see

The purple people are just you and me

Oh they're just you and me

The purple people they will rise

Clash the colors and start a riot

You can't see, you can't see

The purple people are just you and me

He's a mad man sad man very very bad man

The clashing colors make a river of blood

Place the bones back in the grave and chase our fears into the cave

Cave cave cave man, crack the whip a slave man

Roses red, violets blue, that makes purple when you mix the two

So what's mine is yours and yours is mine so smoke my pipe and drink my wine

Drink my wine until you're drunk

Until you're feet swing past that trunk

Strange fruit, strange fruit, ripe ready strange fruit

You can keep a doggy locked up in their cage

But if that door swings open say hello to his rage

They think they're in their caves crawling while they're crawling

But the purple man has a plan and is rising up a riot

Riot, riot ha ha ha ha

Riot, riot ha ha ha ha

Riot, riot shh hush be quiet

The purple man made his plan releasing a riot

Rise, rise, rise, rise

The purple people they will rise

Clash the colors and start a riot

You can't see, no you can't see

The purple people are just you and me
