Who pulls the rope?
Who rings the bell?
Who pulls the rope?
Who rings the bell?
Who barks like a dog?

See the herd returning from the fields
Wires in the earth
Birdsong in bloom
Howling upon the hill
Messing up the ocean

Dark cocoon
Motorbiking dog

And the wind circles around us upon the hills
Who pulls the rope?
Who rings the bell?
Who barks like a dog?

With your back against the wall
The whitewashed wall
You make a sound
That's beautiful

Men carry iron across the horizon
Crowing like cogs
Sun turns into moon
Invisible too
Who rings the bells?
Who rings the bells?
Who pulls the rope?
Who barks like a dog?
Who rings the bells?
Who rings the bells?
Who pulls the rope?
Who barks like a dog?

And now you smiling girls
Take me home
Build us a house upon the hill
Lie me down
Between the stone and the ocean

Who rings the bells?
