Violins

The missile leaves the car
Flies through the window pane
The mother and the child
Flee the ball of flame

Then we hear the sirens' song
Again, again, again
So we put on our headphones
And complete our retreat

I might just stop breathing
I might just stop keeping time
With the violins
Or I might come out swinging
And what if I sang out of key
With the violins?

They're marching to your door
They're waltzing through your firewall
They're dancing to the beat
Of the infernal machine

They wanna make a deal, they say
"You know you can't refuse"
So we put on our makeup
And get down on the floor

I might just stop breathing
I might just stop keeping time
With the violins
And I might just break dancing
I might just break out of line
With the violins

And after the violins, only more violins
No peace for the wicked
And no one needs to be dumb
But we're frightened and we don't know
Are we strong enough?
Are we strong enough?
Are we strong enough?
Are we strong enough?

The missile leaves the drone
Flies through the window pane
The mother and the child
Join the wall of flame

Then we hear the sirens' song
Again, again, again
So we put on our headphones
And complete our retreat

I might just stop breathing
I might just stop keeping time
With the violins
Or I might come out swinging
And what if I sang out of key
Because the violins
Because the violins
