...For Your Violin
(专辑: Ether-Electrified Porch Music - 1999)
She said, "Catch me if you can. You better plan, Gentlemen." So The
Story Goes: Robin Hood stole the
magic seeds from a
Sherwood Dignitary Set 'em afloat on a
Merchant's Boat, set sail for Johnny Appleseed Johnny planted the
magic seeds. Botany, POOF!: Magic Trees Paul Bunyan said, "This will fetch me bread..." He sold the
wood to a
violin maker. The
Legend breathes... Shaped from the
wood sprung a
violin It satisfied the
maker Toe-tapped a
rhythm, touched bow to string His soul earthquakes, the
Sirens sing "My heart can rest, I've made the
best. No match to play, no greater love I'll know" Hid the
'lin, smashed his tools and grinned And died a
happy old man The
Legend grows... What works for me, may not work for you That which often gets passed down Often gets misconstrued Expectation...Imagination, surely can chase the
goose around Don't look for that which others have... You can't find what won't be found. Enter the
Jester De Romancipation Persuasion (the fool...) Escaped from the
King... This myth, he longed to pull these magic heartstrings He bought up every violin on the
country, mountain, ocean-side "To play the
one of Legend Lore, I'll lead a
true love to my door!" The
Legend thrives... For Your Violin...For Your Violin Jaded Jester spent his life chasing down that which could not be found He hung 3,000 violins from the
rafter beams by their rusty strings Penniless and paupered, bug-eyed crazed and gummy-grinned Conducted with a
bow, his orchestra: This Symphony of Myth that did him in... For Your Violin...For Your Violin... [CHORUS] ...Hood, Appleseed, Bunyan...Hey, Violin Maker... Figments of Imagination [?] ...Tell Pied Piper to lead away These myths in time that helped him pine For Your Violin...For Your Violin
