Deep Red Bells

He led you to this hiding place

His lightening threats spun silver tongues

The red bells beckon you to ride

A handprint on the driver side

It looks a lot like engine oil and tastes like being poor and small
And Popsicles in the summer

Deep red bells, deep as ive been done

Deep red bells, deep as ive been done

It always has to come this

Red bells ring this tragic gun

Lost sight of the overpass

The daylight wong remember her

When speckled fronds raise round your bones
Who took the time to fold your clothes
Who shook the Valley of the Shadow

Deep red bells, deep as ive been done

Deep red bells, deep as ive been done

Where does this mean world cast its cold eye
Whos left to suffer long about you

Does your soul cast about like an old paper bag

Past empty lots and early graves

Those like you who lost their way
Murdered on the interstate
While the red bells rang like thunder

Deep red bells, deep as ive been done

Deep red bells, deep as ive been done
