Scott Merritt - Violet and Black lyrics

Your little friends must have been strong Born into their skin like that You almost became one of them But almost don't cover somethin' You dropped a nickel at the midway town They were almost human Carryin' the shame of the glamorous few That shivered and turned away But you're not forgotten She decked the angels out in violet and black She set the angels up and walked across that river Violet and black Eight by ten, violent and black You circle round, you let the chemicals say They're almost family Almost don't cover somethin' Down at the dock, boats drag the river Wrap the red light 'round you Once you would shiver, but somehow you're used to it Like the world don't belong to you You're not forgotten She decked the angels out in violet and black She set the angels up and walked across that river Violet and black Now the Irishman by the Brooklyn Bridge smashed a bottle down And it seems Sebastian's dead Yeah, the arrows are invisible Under that shadow with your jacknife, cut the colour field down Down to violet, down to black Hear the crows flyin' round that soul And they snap the light through the shudderin' hole She decked the angels out in violet and black She set the angels up and walked across that river She set the angels up in violent and black She set the angels up and walked across that river She set the angels up She set the angels up She set the angels up In black, in black
