Bonnie “Prince” Billy
Crazy Blue Bells
[Verse 1]
Someday, when there's time to sing
A few of us will gather
And raise a voice to anything
Because everything matters
[Verse 2]
My hand on my mother's hand
And her hand on my daughter's
My daughter's hand on the hand of who
Will lead us into slaughter
[Chorus]
And our voices join the sound
Of crazy blue bells
[Verse 3]
Dust that's gathered in our hearts
Will be blown and dispersed
Our interest in the darker arts
No longer coming first
[Verse 4]
Practitioners of love and touch
Legalized and praised
And a "fuck you very much"
To thе greedy and the crazed
[Chorus]
And our voices join thе sound
Of crazy blue bells
[Bridge]
Ding dong ding dong ding dong ding dong ding!
Ding dong ding dong ding dong ding dong ding!
Ding dong ding dong ding dong ding dong ding!
Ding dong ding dong ding dong ding dong ding!
Ding dong ding dong ding dong ding dong ding!
[Verse 5]
Flowers from the ends of time
Are blooming in our hearts
Catastrophe is where you'll find
That real self-knowledge starts
[Verse 6]
Count backwards from the very end
Until you reach ignition
Blast off into love, my friend
And decimate cognition
[Chorus]
And our voices join the sound of crazy blue bells
Blue bells unfurl and make wild noise
In tumult, we unite
Our prayers are answered
And our joys are finally in sight
[Chorus 2]
And our voices join the sound of crazy blue bells
How those bells will pound
And how our lives will swell!
And our voices join the sound of crazy blue bells
