Elvis Costello - One Bell Ringing Lyrics

Artist: Elvis Costello

Album: National Ransom

Genre: Rock

Rain slappin' on the window pane
An hour or two of teemin'
Storm punchin' like a hurricane
That tore him out of dreamin'

Air screamin' through the slightest gap
Rattlin' between the frame and the sill
Drapes hangin' from the final act
When I had you still

One lonely bird is singin'
Lower the hood on his last lament
Dash him down on the cold cement
One bell ringin'

Flies buzzin' 'round the strip-search light
They got him down on his knees
He dreams of honey drippin' from a spoon
Girls whisperin' in Portuguese

Between the muzzle and the black site
Electrical contact
Deny your name, then carry the blame
Somewhat after the fact

One lonely bird is singin'
Lower the hood on his last lament
Dash him down on the cold cement
One bell ringin'
