Verse 1

Oh the bells, I carry news that I have got to tell

Hold your head out and you can hear, my baby crying

Verse 2

Peter and Paul, stare at the sky and wait for Jesus to fall

The only sound that they can hear, is my baby crying

Verse 3

Investors of cash, have only years ‘fore a wallstreet crash

Pile up here and throw a big Roman bash in ce-le-bra-tion

Verse 4

Bodies Relax, exhale the smoke of trivial facts

Which rises up to smother the sound, of my baby crying

Chorus

Sometimes I feel like a lover in vain

I failed to protect her from the forces of pain

That so silently pierce her tender heart

Verse 5

My little makes, is an embarrassment to heads of state

In nervous speeches claiming they don’t hear, my baby crying

Verse 6

Rumours are bound, the pedlar went and sold the things that he found

To hipster agents who will market the sound, of my baby crying

Chorus

Sometimes I feel like a lover in vain

I failed to protect her from the forces of pain

That so silently pierce her tender heart

Verse 7

Bring out the shroud , the rebel prophet just got stoned by the crowd

That walked away and laughed out loud, at my baby crying

Verse 8

I’m in despair, I hear like a trumpet everywhere

How could I tell myself, that I couldn’t care about

My baby crying x4
