Red Violins

[Verse 1] There is no use to holla, no use to cry 20 pound 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 [Chorus 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus 2] 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 finger strings I've seen you called on the field of pain On red violins, on red violins [Outro]] And if you wanna then you wanna Can't you see me calling out your feed? 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
