[Verse 1] Born in Salzburg, winter air Tiny hands on the keys Seven years old, eyes on fire Playing for the queens and kings Father said, "Go, play again" Road dust on the coach wheel Every town he left behind He left a tune that could heal [Pre-Chorus] And the halls went still When the boy began Fingers like a lightning line Cutting through the land [Chorus] Mozart in chrome Mozart in chrome Bring the old world on To the future, to the future Mozart in chrome Mozart in chrome Hear the violins rise Like the first sunrise (Future, future) (Mozart in chrome) [Verse 2] Vienna nights, cold and bright Writing with a fevered grin Borrowed rooms and candle wax All his gold was thin He heard the joke, he heard the storm He heard the crowd go blind Still he wrote those furious notes Like he could bend time [Pre-Chorus] And the pages shook In the lantern glow Every note a loaded star Ready there to go [Chorus] Mozart in chrome Mozart in chrome Bring the old world on To the future, to the future Mozart in chrome Mozart in chrome Hear the violins rise Like the first sunrise (Future, future) (Mozart in chrome) [Bridge] Now the machines bow low In a blackened cathedral room Piano sparks in the dark While the strings bloom He was born in Salzburg stone But he walks the wire of now Every century leans in close When he makes that sound [Chorus] Mozart in chrome Mozart in chrome Bring the old world on To the future, to the future Mozart in chrome Mozart in chrome Hear the violins rise Like the first sunrise (Future, future) (Mozart in chrome) [Outro] Deep male voice, steady and proud From Salzburg to the stars Two female voices answer back He never really left us (Mozart in chrome) (Mozart in chrome)
