Violins - Golden Earring

And the classic way is still on play

Violins bitter sweet

String quartet, pass around the hat

You broke my heart, don’t you hurt my head

After Violet and me, saw the Paganini movie

We took a walk around the block to digest

The grand finale

A street-music man with shades and cane

Played the fiddler insane

For a case load of spare change

And the smiles of people passing

Between morning paper sins and waves of violins

It said they found him dead

His bow had made him bad friends

Cold blooded, warm hearted violin

Hooked on high speed energy

Cold blooded, warm hearted violin

Cats gut pumpin’adrenalin

Warm blooded, cold hearted violins

See 'm live tonight in the city

And the classic way, still on play

Violins bitter sweet

String quartet, pass around the hat

You broke my heart, don’t you hurt my head

I’ve gotta find a little peace of mind

Cause the real thing is a mean thing

I guess nobody knew, the Barcelona Zoo

Has an albino monkey, that can trigger the mood

And provoke monkey motions

So when the shit flies high

Through the Barcelona sky

The crowd stands by, a cheering

Cold blooded, warm hearted violin

Hooked on high speed energy

Cold blooded, warm hearted violin

Cats gut pumpin’adrenalin

Warm blooded, cold hearted violins

See them lives tonight in the cityI can hear 'm playin'

Kind a light 'n neat

All the gals 're swayin'

The guys are in for meat

It’s all cute 'n rosy

Till the needle hits a crack

Listen to that screech repeatin'

Watch the flags go slack

Listen to that screech repeatin'

Watch the flags go slack
