Stop Light Observations Lyrics
"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
