(INTRO PT 1)
That girls been putting up with rain for seven days-
Shes asked him kindly but he will not go away- speaks to the seeds underground to keep her safe- and when they push up she pulls petals out of place
(INTRO PT2)
That girls been putting daisies on her dagger-
Stabs the men that think that they can have her-
And if the complain she says- baby baby whats the matter-
I wasnt tryna hurt you I just gave you a flower
(CHORUS 1)
It was only ever psychedelic violence- baby I was bleeding-but I was bleeding- diamonds and violets-yeah-It was only ever psychedelic violence- baby I was bleeding-but I was bleeding- diamonds and violets-
(VERSE 1)
I guess that gold parking spot- it’ll just have to wait- cuz I’ll only ride horses for the rest of my days- and I’ll ride and I’ll ride and I’ll ride away---
And if you must stay behind- in your- jewel crested cage- well write me a letter- cuz you know I cant stay- I’ll run and I’ll run and I’ll run away- - some people never change
(VERSE 2)
They say you gotta settle for something- but I do not breathe to collect dust in my lungs- so I pick up the phone and I run and I run and I run
(CHORUS 2)
I’m clean I’m free- I’ve got no gun- I’m clean I’m free- I’ve got no gun- go ahead and chase me down- see if you can knock my crown- But i’ve never had one- i’ve just ruled myself-
I’m clean I’m free- I’ve got no gun- I’m clean I’m free- I’ve got no gun- go ahead and chase me down- see if you can knock my crown- But i’ve never had one- i’ve just ruled myself
(VERSE 3)
But that freedom- comes with ball and chain- cuz- if you don’t put roots down- well you’ll always stay the same- (no flowers form in the wind)
(CHORUS 1)
It was only ever psychedelic violence- baby I was bleeding-but I was bleeding- diamonds and violets-It was only ever psychedelic violence- baby I was bleeding-but I was bleeding- diamonds and violets
(VERSE 4)
I’m driven by this invisible vengeance- and is it a gift or some sort of sentence- in an autobiography out of control
(OUTRO CHORUS 1+2)
It was only ever psychedelic violence- baby I was bleeding-but I was bleeding- diamonds and violets
I’m clean I’m free- I’ve got no gun- I’m clean I’m free- I’ve got no gun- go ahead and chase me down- see if you can knock my crown- But i’ve never had one- i’ve just ruled myself-
It was only ever psychedelic violence- baby I was bleeding-but I was bleeding- diamonds and violets-
I’m clean I’m free- I’ve got no gun- I’m clean I’m free- I’ve got no gun- go ahead and chase me down- see if you can knock my crown- But i’ve never had one-
