is this the best you have to offer us?
  you genius, your hair mussed
  by now you must have heard about the whirling world outside
  twist a knife in it, i don't care
  drain the life from it, i don't care
  if you can fake it you can take them like a photograph.
    with a coy sigh in time
  with girlfriend waiting on the line
  fine, but can't you wait to make her cry?
  and they'll remember you alive
  as that pain in their unkind invitation tonight
  so here's your credit for the lie
  that you've been hanging
  and over awaiting your reply.
    is this the worst you have to peddle us?
  scandalous? oh spare us!
  by now they must have heard about your worried world inside
  pull the covers up, i don't care
  call all your lovers up, i don't care
  if the fates sing to your face queen of the raincloud club.
    i lied when i said we were alike
  your rest friend waiting on the line
  to compliment your new shine
  i can hardly stand to stand here now
  to be your stare to admit to all
  the pain that you've been painting
  and over and i can't bear to stay.
    so come on and sing along!
  aren't we bridges aren't we bells?
  aren't we chuckling through our curls?
  up to heaven and down to hell
  say it again pal, aren't we bells?
    aren't we statues in a story
  where we choose our goals of glory
  over family and over friends
  say it again and again.
    aren't we bridges aren't we bells?
  aren't we sighing in our cells?
  up to heaven and down to hell
  say it again pal, aren't we bells?
  aren't we bells?
