The Conductor Lyrics

The song The Conductor is performed by The Faint in the album named Danse Macabre in the year 2001 .



Confident with your back to the audience...
Tremolo strings begin with your gesturing wrist.
Start the orchestra slow with an elegant air,
Then a circular sweep crescendoing swell...
Leo Slatkin, Dohnányi, Previn, DePaur.

Your arms are calling out,
They wave like a swarm of sound.
You pull the sound from scores of notes-
You step the stage and take control.

You're conducting Verese in a moment of silence.
Your body directs a pulse of wind.
Von Karajan, Hampton, Menuhin, Levine

Your arms are calling out,
They wave like a swarm of sound.
You pull the sound from scores of notes-
You step the stage and take control.

Those arms are calling out,
They wave like a swarm of sound.
You pull the sound from scores of notes-
You step the stage and take control.

Control.
