Red Violins Lyrics - Get Hurt - The Gaslight Anthem

There is no use to holler, no use to cry 

Twenty pounds of curses came to visit me tonight 

Salt 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 

And if you want it, then you want it 

For when you're falling on your knees 

I seen you howling now, you water at the mouth 

I seen you fawn and faint in need 

Are there red violins playing you sleep?

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Chariot swing low, if you come for me 

Ain't it now, the strangest sound we call on for relief? 

Look at the all these people clapping steady to the beat 

Of the ambulances on their way to me... 

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're struck right off your feet 

I'll play red violins... 

And you are now of my existence 

You're part of that which still remains 

And you're lingering like fingered strings 

I seem to call on to feel the pain 

On red violins... on red violins

And if you wanna, then you wanna 

Can't you see me crawling at your feet? 

You see me howling now, I'm foaming at the mouth 

Come on and grieve for my disease... 

And 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
