lyrics

Put down the guitars you have nothing to say through them anymore Nothing that hasn't been said ten thousand times before Tomorrow I will turn into a butterfly And you -- you will have violins I may be a red-headed fat man in a silken kimono But I have the curse and the gift of seeing tomorrows In yours I hear the din of a hundred violins Oh yes, you will have violins Snapshots of Jesus and the eerie glow of scented candles I see that you suffer delusions and weathered scandals Life will be much better when you throw those guitars down And learn to love the violins I may be a red-headed stepchild in flannel pajamas But I have the curse and the gift of seeing tomorrows In yours I hear the din of a hundred violins Oh yes, there will be violins
