What Violet Says - Suede

Verse one:

The chocolate kiss that sealed her fate

Is fading like mornings dew we break

Shes scraping her boots on frozen dirt

Her heels are plastic, «run the brass»

The drip of the tap up the stairs won’t stop

The twist of the key inside the lock

The cellophane taped around her mouth

And this is the desperate edge of now

The sound of the subway is all we chase

The silence that pounds to the sound of shame

For what violet says a-ohh a-ohh

For what violet saysss

Verse two:

And there was a man who said hed stay

But by the morning he was gone

Shes collecting the coils to the tape

Shes selecting the perfect «» place

Chorus two:

The sound of the subway is all we chase

The silence that pounds to the sound of shame

What violet say a-ooo

What violet saysssss

Verse three:

The morning is calling her to be heard

Shes scraping her knees on the frozen dirt

What violet says a-ooh a-ooh

What violet sayssss

Middle instrumental break

Chorus three and out:

The morning is calling her to be heard

The silence that pounds to the sound of shame

For what violet says

For what violet saysss

The sound of the subway is all we chase

Shes pressing her palms on the open door

For what violet says a-ooh

For what violet saysssss
