Deep Red Bells

Who led you to this hiding place

These lightning threats spun silver tongues

The red bells beckon you to ride

A handprint on the driver's side

It looks a lot like engine oil

It tastes like bean pour and small

And popsicles in the summer

Deep red bells

Deep as I've been done

Deep red bells

Deep as I've been done

It always has to come to this

The red bells ring this tragic hour

You've lost sight of the overpass

The daylight won't remember that

Those speckled fawns graze 'round your bones

Who took the time to fold your clothes

And shook the valley of the shadow

Deep red bells

Deep as I've been done

Deep red bells

Deep as I've been done

Where does this mean world cast its cold eye

Who's left to suffer long without 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 ring like thunder

Deep red bells

Deep as I've been done

Deep red bells

Deep as I've been done

Deep as I've been done
