Lyrics Summer of the Purple Man - Evil Cowards

Summer of the Purple Man

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
