Stan Ridgway - Crack the bell Lyrics

{spoken:} Thanks a lot, thanks a whole lot.

Lulu sends her friends
They cover the mouths with one hand
Well, I keep waiting here
Drifting around in a dark land
And the lone hunter
« I push the staff and stick it »


Chorus:
And I know there's a bell to crack
And I know there's a bell to crack



Well, I hear crosstalk now
Coming through the wire
One voice tells me yes
The other is a liar


Chorus:
And I know there's a bell to crack
I know there's gotta be one more bell to crack



« Click-clack, joint, » this thing is on my sleeve
All this mess around and I gotta clean it up
Okay, Mister Questions, you tell me, when are we gonna leave?
And can you design a heart--a heart that doesn't bleed?


Chorus:
I know there's gotta be one more bell to crack
I know there's gotta be one more bell to crack
Seen a bell, so I crack it
You just can't find good bells anymore!
Yah! Yah! Sure!
Tom Shane's a friend of mine!
I really like him--he's in the industry!
I know there's gotta be one more bell to crack
I know there's gotta be one more bell to crack
