A string of a violin*
*The taxis are already on the yard*
The atmosphere is rubbing at the bar
Half of people leaving, half of them trying to escape
I got my salary and my wallet is thick
so I'll buy everyone a round because the atmosphere here is
damn tense
Half of the gang is trying to escape home to sleep
Even we agreed to go in as a crowd
and drink all our money
We had our names on the list
This was cast iron
but the gang is surrendering already at early evening
Right at the door this gang splits up
Little tip for the bartender: load up the coffee already
I'll give you a tip if you get this gang to be on all fours
around the floor or get the party going
The atmosphere is rubbing at the bar
Half of people leaving, half of them trying to escape
I got my salary and my wallet is thick
so I'll buy everyone a round because the atmosphere here is
TENSE
So damn tense
TENSE
Like a string of a violin, damn out of tune
TENSE
TENSE
TENSE
Like a string of a violin, damn out of tune
Good thing I have Kari
He's weird as heck
He knows what's going on
and drinks with two hands
The gang is still clammy
Half of them left
Even we were supposed to drink tonight so that our foreheads hurt
It strikes like a bolt from the blue
Kari falls to the floor
They tow him away and now he is standing out side demanding his coat
That's it
We need more life to this gang so bartender bring us some more
The atmosphere is rubbing at the bar
Half of people leaving, half of them trying to escape
I got my salary and my wallet is thick
so I'll buy everyone a round because the atmosphere here is
TENSE
So damn tense
TENSE
Like a string of a violin, damn out of tune
TENSE
TENSE
TENSE
Like a string of a violin, damn out of tune
There's not much time left before the last call
The whole gang is sloppy
and just talking even they are blasting Bomfunk** here
I am ready to grab
my stuff from the cloakroom
Me and Kari have clear plans for the afterparty
The atmosphere is rubbing at the bar
Half of people leaving, half of them trying to escape
I got my salary and my wallet is thick
so I'll buy everyone a round because the atmosphere here is
TENSE
So damn tense
TENSE
Like a string of a violin, damn out of tune
TENSE
TENSE
TENSE
Like a string of a violin, damn out of tune
So damn tense
Like a string of a violin, damn out of tune
TENSE
TENSE
TENSE
Like a string of a violin, damn out of tune
