Verse 1

Who you led you to this hiding place

This lightning thread-spun silver tunnels

Red bells beckon you to ride

hand print on the driver's side

it looks a lot like engine oil

and tastes like being poor and small

and popsicles in summer

Chorus

Deep red bells

Deep as I've been done

Deep red bells

Deep as I've been done

Verse 2

It always has to come to this

The red bells ring this tragic hour

We've lost sight of the overpass

The daylight won't remember that

The speckled fawns grazed 'round your bones

Who took the time to fold you clothes

And shook the valley of the shadow

Chorus

Deep red bells

Deep as I've been done

Deep red bells

Deep as I've been done

Bridge

Where does this mean world cast its cold eye?

Who's left to suffer long about you

Does your soul cast about like an old paper bag

Past empty lots life and early graves

But those like you who lost there way

Murdered on the interstate

While the red bells rang like thunder

Chorus

Oh, deep red bells

Oh, deep as I've been done

Deep red bells

Deep as I've been done
