Violent Times Songtext
von St. Vincent

Violent times, almost lost you in these violent times
I forgot people could be so kind
In these violent times
Dollar signs, almost lost it chasing dollar signs
Know the cost but I forgot the price
Of buying my life

I must have been dreaming
I fell down the well
Waking up, waking up in Hell


Different eyes, you′re the same, but I got different eyes
How could I ever have been so blind?
Blame these violent times
When all of the bombs inside
All of the wires I hide
All of the wasted nights chasing mortality
But in the ashes of Pompeii
Lovers discovered in an embrace
For all eternity

I must have been dreaming
I fell down the well
But I swear you were hearing me
Through the noise and static and the call, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh!
