Grinderman - Bellringer Blues Lyrics

I saw my old friend Gabriel
Down the perimeter ringing the bell
I said hello
Hey man is there something wrong?
Where has everybody gone?
I don't know
Well I put my hand across my mouth
And I went out
You're moving slow
"What are you doing?" He said to me
I'm looking for my company
He said "Don't bother, no"

Well, next thing you know when I took a look
Gabe was trying to sell me a book
But I got no dough
He says "Check it out it's going cheap"
Check it out it's going cheap
I'll give it a go
Well, I read that book every page
And then I put it away
Said I don't think so

It makes slaves of all of womankind
And corpses of the men
And I just don't know
And we care a little bit
We get scared a little bit
Of those two cold dead eyes
That stare a little a bit
And we cry a little bit
And we get by a little bit
Yeah, let your tears
All come falling down

(We are the sole survivors)
(The sole survivors)

(We are the sole survivors)
(The sole survivors)

Put me on a big white steed
Ride it it up and down your street
(We are the sole survivors)
Wrapped up in a crimson coat
Sail me in a great big boat
(We are the sole survivors)
I don't know
I'll sail around the waters for you
Kill your sons and daughters for you
(We are the sole survivors)
Yeah, I know
Put me on a big white horse
Send me down to Banbury Cross
(We are the sole survivors)
I don't know

(We are the sole survivors)
(The sole survivors)
It's okay Joe it's time to go

(We are the sole survivors)
(The sole survivors)
It's okay Joe it's time to go

(We are the sole survivors)
(The sole survivors)
It's okay Joe it's time to go

(We are the sole survivors)
(The sole survivors)
