Song Description
Your standard love story: guy and girl share a common interest in the color purple. Guy falls in love until he realizes his lover's eyes are violet and not purple.

I think I was trying to perform this in the style of Danko Jones, but don't quote me on that.
Lyrics
CHORUS
Equality, insanity, wisdom and luxury
#800080: dark purple
Courage, imperial, box of raisin cereal
#800080: dark purple

VERSE
Awww, MySpace grrrl
You bought me flowers on the first date?
You know how to make a desert rat drink his own tears
I knew we'd be a match
After we coincided stats
On the best color... in the whatever!

<CHORUS>

BRIDGE
Like a purple lamp and purple shoes
on a purple couch in a purple room.
A purple bubble for a purple couple:
that's I and you!

Awww, drive your eyes to me and pull down their windows.
Oh grrl! You scarin' me now! That's just a wavelength!
Oh grrl, you don't know! That ain't purple! That's, that's...
VIOLET!!!

<CHORUS>

DISAPPOINTED OUTRO
Aww grrl, it wasn't meant to be!
It was meant to be... it was meant to be #800080 dark purple!
