I saw you on the dance floor with a violet in your hand
Like a movie queen in a bedroom scene
or just lying there in the sand
Maybe there'll be thunder and lightning in your bed
Kitchen floors and bedroom doors and
a looming thought of dread
Music in all of your screams
Daylight in all of your dreams
Ten hours down on my knees
To give you whatever you please
Could you be the blanket that would cover me for now?
My winter snow for your summer glow
We could make it work somehow
Baby dolls in a sleeping bag, they can keep you up all night
Do you ever get the sense that none of this is right?
Keep Autumn and Spring on the run
And always at the barrel of a gun
You've asked me now twice to go
Is there something you want me to know?
But you're keeping it on the down low? Yeah
I saw you on the dance floor with a violet
in your hand
