You sit in the sun on an old easy chair with a well-leafed book in your hand
Your head is exposed and so are your legs and your handiwork lies all around
Purple and yellow and even some black

As I work upstairs on this song
Suddenly you rise and you look to the skies
You decide you must lop off some heads
You come quickly indoors, find a knife in the drawer
And before they can move they are dead
Purple and yellow and even some black
I wonder where you get them all from
You look so relaxed with the sun on your back
As I work upstairs on this song
Now you prowl all around listening out for the sound
Of an over-excited small dog
And you pull at the plastic and it feels just fantastic
As you make your way in from the fog
Purple and yellow and even some black I wonder where you get them all from
You look so relaxed with the sun on your back as I work upstairs on this song
