Lyrics Violin - Live - Amos Lee

Lately I, I've been heading for a breakdown
Every time I leave my house
Well, it feels just like a shakedown

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

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

Oh, God
Oh, God
Oh, God, why you been
Hanging out
