PURPLE DRESS (LIVING WITH DENTURES)
Lyrics by Patrick Porter C. 2011
Take down your purple dress
Swept in the sand and the soft, I palm you glow
Our time is passing fast
If you decide that you know me
Just let me know
Take down your purple dress
Here in the wet of the windmill we lap it slow
Cool air and frosted glass
If you decide you don't need me
Just let me go
Feel like a man with a past
Feel like a tack on a map
Feel like the back of a bone
Feel like a happened that can't
(Get out of here!)
Take down your purple dress
If you can't handle a splatter
Just fake a flow
I can't; I need more traction
If you decide that you'll grieve me
Just kill me now
Take down your purple dress
And as a fact of the matter
Just take it out
Our check is kinda cashed
If you decide I'm a fire
Just throw me coal
Feel like a man with a past
Feel like a tack on a map
Feel like the back of a bone
Feel like a happened that can't
(Get out of here!)
Take down your purple dress
Swept in the sand and the softness
I palmed you glow
Our time is frozen past
Here in the windy and city
I watched you go
