Lyrics (unofficial)

[rev. Aug. 20, 2013]

Newspaper fades against the ground
Phantom bus pass through violet town
On its way through the yellow fields
Past the greying fences

When I'm here I have this feeling
I don't want to know
Inviolate town
Violet town
Inviolate town

When I'm here I have this feeling
I don't want to know
Inviolate town

Sad trees throw shade that falls around
Empty streets of violet town
Gardeners the houses stand
And eyes in windows, strange...

When I'm here I have this feeling
I don't want to know
Inviolate town

Big truth progress never to be found
I walk the corners straight to violet town
And I tell you sometime when we're old
Of the useless boy and his dream

When I'm here I have this feeling
I don't want to know
Inviolate town
Inviolate town
When I'm here I have this feeling
I don't want to know
Inviolate town

Inviolate town [repeated several times]
