Red Violins |
| There is no use to holler, no use to cry |
| 20 pounds of curses came to visit me tonight |
| Song for all the cuts, blankets for the cold |
| Prayers to keep the devil far away from those I love |
| And there were red violins playing in my dreams |
| One for me and two for me and one at Jesus' feet |
| And one I only reach to for sympathy |
| And if you want it then you want it |
| For when you’re falling on your knees |
| I’ve seen you howling now and foaming at the mouth |
| I’ve seen you fall and fail in need |
| All them red violins playing you to sleep |
| Chariots swing low if you come for me |
| Ain’t it now the strangest how we call on for relief? |
| And look at all these people clapping steady to the beat |
| An ambulance is on their way to me |
| So if you wanna then you wanna |
| Everybody pays the price to feed |
| And since you’re howling now, you’re foaming at the mouth |
| And since you struck right off your feet |
| I play red violins and you are now my existence |
| You’re a part of that which still remains |
| And you’re lingering like fingered strings |
| I’ve seen you called on the field of pain |
| On red violins, on red violins |
| And if you wanna then you wanna |
| Can’t you see me crawling at your feet? |
| You see me howling now, I’m foaming at the mouth |
| Come on and grieve for my disease |
| There were red violins playing in my dreams |
| There were red violins playing in my dreams |
| There were red violins, there were red violins |
| There were red violins, there were red violins playing in my dreams |
