I’ve found so many ways to hide it from myself
Been practicing this magic since I was a girl
Violets in the snow all become electric roses

I’ve seen it all, I hold no grudge, I hold no fault
Illusionist, contortionist, I’ve played them all
Violets in the snow, they want electric roses

Now the nights go on and on
The lights stay on, stay on
Oh the nights go on and on
The lights stay on, stay on
Stay on, stay on, stay on

It feels so funny, I think I’ve been here before
The faces seem the same, not quite forever young
Violets in the snow, they wanted electric roses
Practicing your pose, they wanted electric roses

Now the nights go on and on
The lights stay on, stay on
And the nights go on and on
The lights stay on, stay on
Oh, the nights go on and on
The lights stay on, stay on
Stay on, stay on
Ooh
Do they stay young for love?

Violets in the snow (When the nights go on and on)
Want to be electric roses (Stay on, stay on, stay on)
Violets in the snow (When the nights go on and on)
They wanted electric roses (Stay on, stay on, stay on)

Ooh
