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

Chorus
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 sayss
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-oo
What violet sayss

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 sayss
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 sayss
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 sayss
