lyrics

LYRICS:

You know Violet with that golden hair, she's a friend of mine
She's alive when she breathes fresh air, she dances all the time
You know Violet don't like sugar, yeah she don't like red wine
She don't like red wine.

Violet's gone wicked; Violet's been kicking up the leaves;
Darling, it's autumn in Melbourne, Violet's gone.

/

Lately, there must be something in the water
I know, because it's been different towards you
Get out of the house man, if it don't feel right
There must be demons or something, because I'm scared shitless at night

In the end I see everything in green, you know what I mean,
Close my eyes, close my eyes and I'll colour it in, I'll colour it in.

Hold up, there's a gun still smoking
Don't lock and load, because you're not angry and I'm choking
Here we go now, I'd like to tell you all about it
Whistle blows, we can just forget about this

In the end I see everything in green, you know what I mean,
Close my eyes, close my eyes and I'll colour it in, I'll colour it in.

In the end I see everything in green, you know what I mean,
Close my eyes, close my eyes and I'll colour it in, I'll colour it in.
