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 

with girlfriend waiting on the line 

fine, but 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 rest friend 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 and 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?
