Down on the gulf coast where they rock and roll
I leaned a little while up against a barber pole.
Stood like that until the sun went down
Lost a quart of blood since Tuesday.
Light in the doorways
Light up the streets of this town
Ultra Violet, Ultra Violet
And when they cut loose, you gotta stand back
You gotta reinforce the places that they're likely to attack
I spent the whole week down at St. Vincent de Paul's
Wholly immersed in prayer
And Ultra Violet, Ultra Violet
Down where the river rushes into the sea
I didn't let 'em get the best of me
I didn't let 'em take the very best part
The last lone bit of light left flickering in my heart
Ultra Violet, Ultra Violet
Ultra Violet, Ultra Violet
