Suede - What Violet says

The chocolate kiss that sealed her fate
Is fading like mornings dew we break.
She's 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.

The sound of the subway is all we chase.
The silence that pounds to the sound of shame
For what Violet says, what Violet says.

And there was a man who said he'd stay,
But by the morning he was gone.
She's collecting the coils to the tape,
She's selecting the perfect in her place,

The sound of the subway is all we chase.
The silence that pounds to the sound of shame
For what Violet says, what Violet says.

The morning is calling her to be heard.
She's scraping her knees on the frozen dirt.
What Violet says, what Violet says.

The morning is calling her to be heard.
The silence that pounds to the sound of shame
For what Violet says, what Violet says.

The sound of the subway is all we chase.
She's pressing her palms on the open door
For what Violet says, what Violet says.
