Summer of the Purple Man - Evil Cowards

He materialized at the edge of my street

In a big beater collar

Never missed a beat

I can you can say that’s all where it began

He seduced me on my way home from marching band

It was 1991

It was the summer of the purple man

God only knows we didn’t know we did

You bet we played that card because we were just kids

Re-educated while working on our tans

He controlled us with a touch of his purple hand

We we’re falling one by one

It was the summer of the purple man

Suddenly the universe was out of whack

And once you go there

You can’t come back

And daddy look at you he’s gonna have a heart attack

«Commence conscription,» he said

«When I get my hands on that mother fucker

Gonna put his purple ass in the ground

And weight the fucker

I’ll tear him limb from limb on a torture rack,»

The afternoons were spent in nap

The nights were sitting on his lap

Feeding him purple beans out of a can

Everything went according to his plan

It was the last time I had fun

Yeah, it was the summer of the purple man

Spilling our seeds into the serpent’s garden

Our young love muscles began to harden

That’s when mother copped and begged our pardon

Cleared her throat and she said

«You're such a good little boy

And you always want to please us

Surely we can fix this with a little more Jesus

And pray and pray that purple gay away,»

Hey Nancy boys this ones for you

And the big pink bow from the gum you chew

It’s such a hoot watching what you turned into

As the days fly pass

We’ll stand aghast

Trapping you in a social impasse

Run out the door just as fast as you can

And try to go back to the summer of the purple man
