lyrics

Shakin’ Grape Jelly / When Doves Cry

the march wind blows purple
the color when the mountain laurels bloom
the magenta crepe myrtle
a shift to the red we are led to assume
that the world is a big fat bowl of shakin’ grape jelly
this world is a big fat bowl of shakin’ grape jelly

dig if you will the picture
of you and I engaged in a kiss
the sweat of your body covers me
can you my darling
can you picture this?

this world is a big fat bowl of shakin’ grape jelly

dream if you can a courtyard
an ocean of violets in bloom
animals strike curious poses
they feel the heat
the heat between me and you

this world is a big fat bowl of shakin’ grape jelly

how can you just leave me standing?
alone in a world that’s so cold
maybe I’m just too demanding
maybe I’m just like my father too bold
maybe you’re just like my mother
she’s never satisfied
why do we scream at each other
this is what it sounds like
when doves cry
