             THE BELL TOWER
             JESSE MICHAELS
INTRO:
NONE
VERSE:
Well the stBreet was jumping with mEurderers
And their hAalf set alibBis
And though I prefer pEoetry, 
I brought my gAuns to the starting lBine
And when the announcer said
“CEast your currents, all blAoods come from upstrBeam!”
I chambered a little insEurance myself,
PAointed my iron and squBeezed
PRE-CHORUS:
NEeck and neck with teenage archers
StGraining against their bows
We trAacked the cities pornographies
And sang ice to it snows
CHORUS:
As we rBan to the bell towEer 
As we rBan to the bell towEer 
As we rBan to the bell towEer 
What, wAoh-oh-oh-wBoh
VERSE:
In cBool flight jazzish liEnes
SAounded like classical thBemes
I littered the night with clEumsy jamming
ConstrAucted a lean to drBeam
Thus, into the race I fEell or jumped
With a bAit of affected mBalice
Grabbed hold of the rEudder
And stAeered the rotting ship towards the pBalace
PRE-CHORUS:
SEome of the chumps I left in my wake
Had doGssiers and blast
PrAobably most of the worst of them
Were reflections of me in the glassA  A  A  
CHORUS:
And we rBan to the bell tower
VERSE:
There's a vBillage of little brEuises
That sAet you on its spiral trBack
To lower your voice any jeEers and cover 
LAetters turn to blBack
Hey remember that knife you boEught as a joke?
NAow it’s whispering hiBnts
You’re in Shiloh nEow little kid
DAown here we sleep in seBnse
PRE-CHORUS:
So poEint your weapons upward
AgGainst both luck and god
With aAny luck that son of a bitch
Will roll your numbers odd
CHORUS:
As we rBan to the bell towEer 
As we rBan to the bell towEer 
As we rBan to the bell towEer 
WAoh-oh-oh-wBoh
OUTRO:
As we rBan to the bell towEer 
As we rBan to the bell towEer 
As we rBan to the bell towEer 
WAoh-woh-oh-wBoh

THE BELL TOWER

JESSE MICHAELS

INTRO:

NONE

VERSE:

B E

Well the street was jumping with murderers

A B

And their half set alibis

And though I prefer poetry,

A B

I brought my guns to the starting line

And when the announcer said

E A B

“Cast your currents, all bloods come from upstream!”

I chambered a little insurance myself,

A B

Pointed my iron and squeezed

PRE-CHORUS:

Neck and neck with teenage archers

Straining against their bows

We tracked the cities pornographies

And sang ice to it snows

CHORUS:

B E

As we ran to the bell tower

B E

As we ran to the bell tower

B E

As we ran to the bell tower

A B

What, woh-oh-oh-woh

VERSE:

B E

In cool flight jazzish lines

A B

Sounded like classical themes

I littered the night with clumsy jamming

A B

Constructed a lean to dream

Thus, into the race I fell or jumped

A B

With a bit of affected malice

Grabbed hold of the rudder

A B

And steered the rotting ship towards the palace

PRE-CHORUS:

Some of the chumps I left in my wake

Had dossiers and blast

Probably most of the worst of them

A A A

Were reflections of me in the glass

CHORUS:

And we ran to the bell tower

VERSE:

B E

There's a village of little bruises

A B

That set you on its spiral track

To lower your voice any jeers and cover

A B

Letters turn to black

Hey remember that knife you bought as a joke?

A B

Now it’s whispering hints

You’re in Shiloh now little kid

A B

Down here we sleep in sense

PRE-CHORUS:

So point your weapons upward

Against both luck and god

With any luck that son of a bitch

Will roll your numbers odd

CHORUS:

B E

As we ran to the bell tower

B E

As we ran to the bell tower

B E

As we ran to the bell tower

A B

Woh-oh-oh-woh

OUTRO:

B E

As we ran to the bell tower

B E

As we ran to the bell tower

B E

As we ran to the bell tower

A B

Woh-woh-oh-woh
