Live Through Your Strings

Every night, he climbs the tower
Sees your face on every dollar
He digs the dirt right back and under your feet, oh my
Every night he climbs your dollar
Sees your face upon the tower
He takes the dirt right out from under your feet, oh my

As your fingers glide across my veins
They string your violin, thread 'em through the bow
Every time you play, I feel you scratching, uh oh, uh oh
Pack my body into your rosin
And I'll la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la, live through your strings
And I'll da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da, die again

Scratch your face for every dollar
To your death, right off the tower
Play the skins like you have never been wrong before
An earthquake destroyed the tower
I play accordion for all your dollars
And we're back to scratching your violin, ha!

As your fingers glide across my veins
They string your violin, thread 'em through the bow
Every time I play, I feel you scratching, uh oh, uh oh
Pack my body into your rosin
And I'll la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la, live through your strings
And I'll da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da, die again

And I'll la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la, lie to my friends
And I'll la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
And I'll la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la, live through your strings, ha!
