Lyrics Amos Lee – Violin
Text:
Lately I, I’ve been heading for a breakdown
Every time I leave my house
Well, it feels just like a shake down
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
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 the big fish ambition and the lovers
Using words as ammunition
Between the wood planks I’ve been pacing
And this 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
