Lyrics:

Feast your blue stars on me green and growing

In my desert red comes your warmth and purple royalty

Fresh picked for your paletted parties

Paint your tongue purple green with me

Oh Great One, Conqueror of Egypt

I just hope to please Your Highness

(with) Grapes, olives, purple green

Regale with, purple green

I'm the grapes, your soft and sweetness

I'm the olives, your flowering keenness

I'm the salt, your salary

I'm the stone, your centerpiece

But am I still the star of your feast?

I am just your stepping stone

You leave me lay in salt desert

My flavor’s the same your tongue may change

What can some mute sack of fruit say?

Feast your stars, I’m turning green

Purple imbued with ambivalence

The Great One’s moved on to Babylon

Grapes, olives, purple green

Molding and rotting

To you, the grapes, once sweet turn sour

To you, the olives taste bitter

To you, the salt's not quite your flavor

And so the feast all comes to a halt.

Grapes, olives, purple green

Regale with purple green

Molding and rotting

Paint me purple green

Purple green

Purple green

Purple green

Purple green
