THE FAINT
"The Conductor (Thin White Duke Remix)"

Confident with your back to the audience
Tremolo strings begin with your gesturing wrist
Start the orchestra slow with an elegant aire
Then a circular sweep crescendoing swell
Leo Slatkin, Dohnanyi, Previne, 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

Control...
