Purple People

Well hey do you do Judo
when they surround you
A little mental yoga
will they disappear?



It's grim but never dubious as motives go
One thing she'll always promises
promises is a show

Thunder wishes it could be the Snow
Wishes it could be as loved as she can be
These gifts are here

for her
for you
for me


I watch me be this other thing and never know
if I'm marooned or where the purple people go
then lily white matricide
from vicious words
it doesn't leave a scratch
so therefore no one's hurt

Thunder wishes it could be the Snow
Wishes it could be as loved as she can be
These gifts are here
for her
for you
for me



And don't you know
The nurses make it clear
Just when you've escape
you have yourself to fear
a restaurant that never has to close
Breakfast, every hour
it could save the world


so hey do you do Judo in your finery
an angel's face is tricky to wear constantly

Thunder wishes it could be the Snow
Wishes it could be as loved as she can be
These gifts are here
for her
for you
for me

Spark

She's addicted to nicotine patches
She's addicted to nicotine patches
She's afraid of the light in the dark
6:58 are you sure where my spark is
Here
She's convinced she could hold back a glacier
But she couldn't keep Baby alive
Doubting if there's a woman in there somewhere
Here
You say you don't want it again
And again but you don't really mean it
You say you don't want it
This circus we're in
But you don't you don't really mean it
You don't really mean it
If the Divine master plan is perfection
Maybe next I'll give Judas a try
Trusting my soul to the ice cream assassin
Here

You say you don't want it again
And again but you don't really mean it
You say you don't want it
This circus we're in
But you don't you don't really mean it
You don't really mean it


How may fates turn around in the overtime
Ballerinas that have fins that you'll never find
You thought that you were the one yeah
Well so did I
Say you don't want it
Say you don't want it
Say you don't want it again
And again but you don't really mean it
Say you don't want it
This circus we're in
But you don't you don't really mean it
You don't really mean it
She's addicted to nicotine patches
She's afraid of the light in the dark

6:58

are you sure where my spark is?

Here ?
