Oh Violet

Gimme some time to think, I'll start all over again
Pour me another drink, & Ill take you back to when
I'm gona tell you, my life's story
But time and love are in short supply

Freedom is rationed, trust is out of fashion
And ours is but to do or die
Are you battening the odds? Fighting the unseen?
Are you living in a kind of twilight zone, land of dreams

Oh violet, where have you been
Oh violet, where have you been
Na na na na na

Open up familiar wounds, lying of a bed of nails
Your bones will be buried soon, when all else fails
You see how everything just seems to ricochet
And nothing, even mud don't stick to the walls
Soon your history, in some old mans diary
As you dive, as you fall
Are you turning in your sleep
Rattling your jeans
And you talk about love like you know what it means
Oh violet, where have you been
Oh violet, where have you been
Na nananana

Soon your history in some old mans diary
As you die as you fall
Are you turning in your sleep? Rattling in your jeans?
And you talk about love like you know what it means

Oh violet, where have you been
Oh violet, where have you been
Oh violet, where have you been
Oh violet, where have you been
