Parma Violets - Jealous Of The Birds

Hang Tibetan paintings on my bedroom wall

Stick stars on the ceiling so I don’t feel so small

God I wish I could call you, what the hell would I say?

Hope you’re feelin' better, we should hang out some day

Oh please

Don’t you swallow

Pills like parma violets, again

Once you showed me a secret, delicate as a moth

It barely shivered, its wings were so soft

Then it flew up to the fluorescent light

I knew right then that you would be alright

Oh please

Don’t you swallow

Pills like parma violets, again

Our lives are prisms, the light beams through

Refracting colors is what we do

We’re different shades of the same blue

But at least we’re true, at least we’re true

Oh please

Don’t you swallow

Pills like parma violets, again
