Hear the Bells Songtext
von Mike Doughty

I hear the bells
Down in the canyons
It′s snow in New York
Some blue December
And I'm gone to the moon
About you, girl
And I′m calling to you
Throughout the world
And, well, I can (I can)
Hear the bells are ringing joyful and triumphant
And I can (I can)
Hear the bells are ringing joyful and triumphant and


I hear the bells
They are like emeralds
And glints in the night
Commas and ampersands
Your moony face
So inaccessible
Your inner mind
So inexpressible
I can (I can)
Hear the bells are ringing joyful and triumphant
And I can (I can)
Hear the bells are ringing joyful and triumphant and

Dum, dum, dum, dum-be-dum-dum
Dum, dum, dum, dum-be-dum-dum

I'm seeking girls
In sales and marketing
Let's go make out
Up in the balcony
Your business dress
So businesslike
And I′m tossing the blouse
Over a chairback
And I can (I can)
Hear the bells are ringing joyful and triumphant
And I can (I can)
Hear the bells are ringing joyful and triumphant
I can (I can)
Hear the bells are ringing joyful and triumphant
And I can (I can)
Hear the bells are ringing joyful and triumphant and


Dum, dum, dum, dum-be-dum-dum
Dum, dum, dum, dum-be-dum-dum

You snooze, you lose
Well, I have snost and lost
I′m pushing through
I'll disregard the cost
I hear the bells
So fascinating
And I′ll slug it out
I'm sick of waiting
And I can (I can)
Hear the bells are ringing joyful and triumphant
And I can (I can)
Hear the bells are ringing joyful and triumphant
And I can (I can)
Hear the bells are ringing joyful and triumphant
And I can (I can)
Hear the bells are ringing joyful and triumphant
And I can (I can)
Hear the bells are ringing joyful and triumphant and

Dum, dum, dum, dum-be-dum-dum
Dum, dum, dum, dum-be-dum-dum
Dum, dum, dum, dum-be-dum-dum
Dum, dum, dum, dum-be-dum-dum
Dum, dum, dum, dum-be-dum-dum
Dum, dum, dum, dum-be-dum-dum
Dum, dum, dum, dum-be-dum-dum
Dum, dum, dum, dum-be-dum-dum
