Aching and tearing your heart apart
Oh sweet Viola precious objet d'art
This crippling knot swells your eyes
Strive to break free - free from the lies
Shrivelling lilac make yourself a willing sacrifice
Embattled in this pitiful game
Amethyst maiden chock full of shame
Blaming yet another fault on thee
You feel at the bottom and you're up a gum tree
Shooting at your foot can't you see - can't you even see
No Dear Viola forget the fame
Getting out of control hark hark Vi - o - la (Vi - o - la)
Because you're not mine (you are not mine)
I'm here waiting in vain (waiting in vain)
Viola in vain! (Viola in vain)
My tears smouldering searing my brain
Tremendous downpour (don't know what for)
No purple rain (it's all in vain)
No purple rain! (here again)
I must break free from this pain
Absolutely nothing to gain
Barely afloat in the stormy Bering
Bittersweet in your your despairing
Laid out 'n lavender 'bout to happen to you
Lest the frost turns you blue
Submerged in valleys takes a miracle to get you through
Precious Viola such gravity
It's all out of control hark hark Vi - o - la (Vi - o - la)
Well since you're not mine (you are not mine)
I'm here waiting in vain (waiting in vain)
Viola in vain! (Viola in vain)
My tears smouldering searing my brain
Tremendous downpour (don't know what for)
No purple rain (it's all in vain)
No purple rain! (here again)
Can I break free from this pain? Dying passions all down the drain
