Daisy & Violet

Daisy and Violet work at the market

I hear they used to live on the road

Somebody told me, singing in sideshows

Joined at the hips of the songs that they wrote

Daisy and Violet come in a vision

Double the dresses, double the fun

Sing in a harmony only a sister

Could sing of the times and the freedom they want

Daisy fell ill and was followed by Violet

A neighbor boy found them dead on the ground

Somewhere inside the mind of a child

Are harmonies only a sister could sing

Elephant man died in his own bed

The neck that he had had a heart of its own

Said that his mother was crushed by a monster

When he was inside her, an elephant gnome

Penny for the sisters and a penny for the man

I’ll give it back to you when I can

Penny for the sisters and a penny for the man

They’ll make a killing if I cannot
