Whistles N' Bells

Wasting time, smoking cigarettes. Cigarettes All is fine, she's got no regrets. No regrets Everyone seems to be mad Dressed to the nines, heart shaped lips, no-one to kiss Whistles n bells, n' no more than this, more than this Emptiness sells, blinking lights Listen, I'm a natural, feel like an animal in a zoo Next to impossible, almost too beautiful to be true 'til it happens to you Lately, I've been eating brown leaves, morning star He's all I need, watching over me, over me Everyone seems to be mad Wishin' I knew what the matter was, matter was You cannot tell what knowing does, knowing does Whistles n' bells, blinking lights Maybe I'm an accident, passersby are standing around One forgotten elephant the circus has long left town And I'm still around Listen to the fork-tongued or the sweet song mockingbird All you want is your fun, come the dawn y'seem so absurd Hey, have you not heard? Everyone seems to be mad Whistles n' bells, blinking lights. Blinking lights
