Ring A Bell

(album: Saints & Liars - 2009)

Starts with a whisper
A shimmering light
A blink of a flashbulb
And bats in the night
Most people don't notice
Most people don't care
But how could I blame them
When I have been there?

But now its driving me crazy
Its driving me mad
I can't find no rhythm
And I'm pissed at the band
But I would rather be crazy, I would rather be mad
Then lost in the silence
Hollowing drab

So I will try my best
At keeping secrets from the world
Such a small and witty world
Its out of my league
And if you're not impressed
Why don't you try it for yourself
In front of everybody else
As the band begins to play

I slept with an angel
Or maybe a queen
I never talked to the devil
But he's been talking to me
And I swallowed an ocean
An ocean of wine
And the fruit pickers daughters
Are just grapes on the vine
So if you see me at showtime
Looking like hell
I was up after midnight
Ringing a bell

So I will try my best
At keeping secrets from the world
Such a strong and witty world
Its out of my league
And if you're not impressed
Why don't you try it for yourself
In front of everybody else
As the band begins to play
