LYRICS
What is meant by “what is in your basement?”
Is it hell in your cellar
What is meant by “what is in your basement?”
Is it hell in your cell, or….
Carry on with your purple crayon
The torment of your basement
The toys in your attic
The confinement of your basement
Making your mind sick
Carry on with your purple crayon

Inspired by Sybil — “The personalities make Dr. Wilbur a Christmas card, but Sybil made everything purple, a color that frightens Peggy. Dr. Wilbur hypnotizes Vickie and asks about the purple. Vickie relates a memory of a time Sybil’s mother locked young Sybil in the wheat bin in the barn. Thinking she was smothering, Sybil used her purple crayon to scratch on the inside of the bin so someone would know she had been there.”
