The bell

There is a sleeping dog
Under this dialogue
Obedient only to rhyme
And if I could beckon her
If I could find the words
All they would be is lies
Tell me why this failure is making you smile

Then off goes the bell ringing through my head
Signifies that all's been said
This failure is making you smile
Off goes the bell ringing through my head

There is a passenger
In every useless word
That can never be twisted or sold
Center of my skin
The body of discipline
It must be a million years old
I've been told you're offering more than you owe

Then off goes the bell ringing through my head
Signifies that all's been said
You're offering more than you owe
Off goes the bell ringing through my head

Then off goes the bell ringing through my head
Signifies that all's been said
Off goes the bell ringing through my head

Then off goes the bell ringing through my head
Signifies that all's been said
Off goes the bell ringing through my head
