HEY MERCEDES "Bells" Lyrics

Is this the best you have to offer us?

you genius, your hair mussed

by now you must have heard about the whirling world outside


twist a knife in it, i don't care


drain the life from it, i don't care


if you can fake it you can take them like a photograph.




with a coy sigh in time

your girlfriend's waiting on the line


can't you wait to make her cry?


and they'll remember you alive


as that pain in their unkind invitation tonight


so here's your credit for the lie


that you've been hanging


and over awaiting your reply.




is this the worst you have to peddle us?


scandalous! oh spare us!


by now they must have heard about your worried world inside


pull the covers up, i don't care


call all your lovers up, i don't care


if the fates sing to your face queen of the raincloud club.



I lied when i said we were alike

your best friend's waiting on the line


to compliment your new shine


I can hardly stand to stand here now


to be your stare to admit to all


the pain that you've been painting


and over and i can't bear to stay.


so come on!

sing along!




aren't we bridges aren't we bells?


aren't we chuckling through our curls?


up to heaven and down to hell


say it again pal, aren't we bells?




aren't we statues in a story


where we choose our goals of glory


over family and over friends


say it again and again.



aren't we bridges aren't we bells?

aren't we sighing in our cells?


up to heaven and down to hell


say it again pal, aren't we bells?


aren't we bells?
