  • Looking out the window
    Staring at the road
    Doesn't really matter
    Which way to go
    Everything is changing
    Nothing ever seems to stay the same

    Violins and tambourines
    Candy canes and magazines
    Preachers sermons on the street
    I killed a man but life is cheap
    she said

    Stopped on the way home
    side of the road
    met her at the drug store
    saving people's souls
    she offered me redemption
    I'll take a drink instead if that's ok

    Violins and tambourines
    Candy canes and magazines
    Preachers sermons on the street
    I killed a man but life is cheap
    They say

    Violins and tambourines
    Candy canes and magazines
    Preachers sermons on the street
    I killed a man but life is cheap

    Violins and tambourines
    Children sing songs in the street
    Innocence is underrated
    Knock me out I'll be sedated

    Violins and tambourines
    Pounding drums in unity
    She's just to emancipated
    Every time we meet she wants to save me
    She wants to save me
    Can she save me?
    Won't you save me? Writer/s: Jim Lowe, Kelly Jones
