Violin - Amos Lee

Lately I, I’ve been heading for a breakdown

Every time I leave my house

It feels just like a shake down

Between 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 ol' 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 wood planks I’ve been pacing endless

Impossible dream that I’ve been chasing

Oh God why you been

Hanging out in that ol' violin

While I’ve been waiting for you, to pull me through
