The Conductor Lyrics - The Faint

Confident with your back to the audience 

Tremolo strings begin with your gesturing wrist 

Start the orchestra slow with an elegant aire 

Then a circular sweep crescendoing swell 

Leo Slatkin, Dohnanyi, previne, depaur 

Your arms are calling out 

They wave like a swarm of sound 

You pull the sound from scores of notes 

You step the stage and take control 

You're conducting ver'ese in a moment of silence 

Your body directs a pulse of wind 

Von Karajan, Hampton, Menuhin, Levine 

Your arms are calling out 

They wave like a swarm of sound 

You pull the sound from scores of notes 

You step the stage and take control 

Your arms are calling out 

They wave like a swarm of sound 

You pull the sound from scores of notes 

You step the stage and take control 

Control, control, control 

Control, control, control 

Control, control, control
