Violet Songtext
von The Coup

Under hesitant flicker of neon glow
Where the trash cans bloom and the needles grow
I wiped that shit off my mouth and I grabbed the door
And that′s all y'all need to know
"Let the glitter of the burn and debris bless me tonight"
That′s what I thought and inhaled nicotine delight

Screams for my life scripted by deal memos
From the back of a bulletproof steel limo

It ain't nothing in my life that's been real gentle
′Til the day of your magnificent beer swindle
Told my story, you didn′t look at me funny
And the kiss felt like you was paying me money

Come on, holler at your dog
Come on, holler at your dog
I must've missed your call
Come on


They said the sparkle in your eyes was just ′cause of the daggers
If they wanted us to leave, they was gon' have to drag us
Skyscrapers crowded ′round to watch
As we laughed at the faulty perception of clocks
Every 43 bus stop on Foothill could testify
Your middle finger in the air was like blessing the sky
And the overpass, it shook like a overdose
And the rocks caught the holy ghost
And the wind made the chain links sing falsetto

We made a promise we would never settle
Standing on the hydrant, you declared it a holiday
Against police and pimps, we would have our way

Come on, holler at your dog
Come on, holler at your dog
I must've missed your call
Come on

The room and that dude had layers of filth
We sprinted out with the cash and got higher than stilts
I wondered if the birds were flying to something or flying away
You said both, then hit the E and the J
Now the stars up there are for the few who use ′em
We could ride it down the block like the new solution

Street level, eye level, make your wish
You told me I could write a novel and make us rich
That's the last time I seen your crazy brown high beams
I'm still in front of that building with the white screen

Stop through for a hot second, holler back
I don′t even want my 50 dollars back


Come on, holler at your dog
Come on, holler at your dog
I must′ve missed your call
Come on
