Violin Songtext
von Amos Lee

Lately I, I′ve been headed for a breakdown
Everytime I leave my house
Well, it feels just like a shakedown

Between the street sweepers and the pushers are the lawyers
Who may as well be butchers
Between the small-timing hustlers
Who all seem to feed upon each other

Oh God, why you been
Hanging out in that old violin
While I've been waiting for you
To pull me through?

Lately I, every time I try to lie down
Well, my mind just gets away
I can′t even close my eyes now (between)


Between the big fish, ambition, and the lovers
Using words as ammunition (between)
Between the wood planks I've been pacing endless
Impossible dream that I've been chasing

Oh God, why you been
Hanging out in that old violin
While I′ve been waiting for you
To pull me through?

Oh, God
Oh, God

Oh God, why you been
Hanging out in that old violin
While I′ve been waiting for you
To pull me through?

Oh, God
Oh, God
Oh, God
