The Gaslight Anthem - Red Violins [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
There is no use to holla, no use to cry
20 pound of curses came to visit me tonight
Song 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

[Chorus 1]
And if you want it then you want it
For when you're falling on your knees
I've seen you howling now and foaming at the mouth
I've seen you fall and fail in need
All them red violins playing you to sleep

[Verse 2]
Chariots swing low if you come for me
Ain't it now the strangest how we call on for relief?
And look at all these people clapping steady to the beat
An ambulance is on their way to me

[Chorus 2]
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 struck right off your feet
I play red violins and you are now my existence
You're a part of that which still remains
And you're lingering like finger strings
I've seen you called on the field of pain
On red violins, on red violins

[Outro]]
And if you wanna then you wanna
Can't you see me calling out your feed?
You see me howling now, I'm foaming at the mouth
Come on and grieve for my disease
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
