lyrics

Verse 1
===
The two of us
Dressed in purple
Wide smiles
Big spectacle
In this place that takes our days

Doesn't matter
What you're doing
Could be crude
Could be nothing
Just as long as people stay

Verse 2
===
I built a circus
With my hands
I'm ring master
Clown and acrobat
I've only got a purple tent

And if the tent were
Some other color
I wouldn't struggle
Just to eat while
Subsidizing private jets

Bridge
===
Purple parasite
Taking half of everything
(I bleed purple
Yeah I'm bleeding out purple)
Don't do shit but hey
At least we know you're listening
(I bleed purple
Yeah I'm bleeding out purple)

Coda
===
I wanna be live
But is it still in me?
I don't make enough
For Purple to miss me
I wish I could leave
But would you go with me?

Verse 3
===
Only the sound
Of money leaving
Is loud enough
For purple's hearing
Over the latest press release

So keep on dodging
Rocks and bottles
Until a big fish
Makes an exit
Or til you decide to leave
