Purple Phase

(album: My Soft Machine - 2023)

Saturday was rotten to the core
Whispering to Jodie on the floor
Terrified of turning 24, wet-eyed paranoid
(It's just a)
Promising to rise above the thoughts
Tried to flush her pills and get support
There's a centre in upstate New York, smoke blue lakes and talks
(It's just a)

I just want to see her iridescent charming cats down from trees
Mugler aviators hiding eyes that laugh when concealed
Saviour instinct tells me use your hands to drag her to peace
To a place she can sleep

It's just a purple phase
It's just a purple phase
It's just a purple phase
It's just a purple phase

Oh Jodie won't you tell me what you're holding on for?
Holding on for?
(It's just a)
I would find it all then I'd give it to you
I'd give it to you yeah yeah yeah

I just want to see her iridescent charming cats down from trees
Mugler aviators hiding eyes that laugh when concealed
Saviour instinct tells me use your hands to drag her to peace
To a place she can sleep

It's just a purple phase
It's just a purple phase
It's just a purple phase
It's just a purple phase

I want you happy, I want you happy
I think you're precious, I think you're precious
I want you happy, I want you happy
Oh you're so precious, you're so precious to me

It's just a
It's just a
It's just a
It's just a
It's just a
It's just a

It's just a purple phase
It's just a purple phase
It's just a purple phase
It's just a purple phase

It's just a purple phase
It's just a purple phase
It's just a purple phase
It's just a purple phase
