Every house on the street 

Will get on their feet

Carry the sleepers out into the weather, from the violet cities

The violet cities



They'll turn on their lights and open their eyes

Drop to their knees and they'll drink from the river in the violet cities

The violet cities



On and on they'll lead us on and

On and on they'll lead us on

We'll all get high and walk off

Into the country, ridiculous country

Where the blue sky will smother us

Believe me, believe me, believe me

The blue sky will smother us



They'll open their doors and they'll sing to the sun

We don't know anymore how to glitter we come

From the violet cities

The violet cities



If we stand there and stare and everyone's come

They may never find out that we came here at all

From the violet cities

The violet cities



On and on they'll lead us on and

On and on they'll lead us on

We'll all get high and walk off

Into the country, ridiculous country

Where the blue sky will smother us

Believe me, believe me, believe me

The blue sky will smother us

Believe me, believe me, believe me
