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
