lyrics

HIGH BELL
(from "When the High Bell Rings," 2007; live version on "Kentucky Shroud")
Oh yeah, Oh yeah, all right, all right
Day to day now, night to night
The dark is day now, the night is light
Oh yeah, Oh yeah, all right, all right
Shiny lamb, shiny snake
Thorn that burns, shake that ache

CHORUS:
You know I know that we'll make love to night
when the high bell rings
You know I feel we'll die and that's all right
when the black bird sings
Let the oceans turn to blood, let them flood, let them flood
when the high bell rings
Let the stars fall down, let them drown, let them drown
when the high bell rings

Oh yeah, Oh yeah, awright, a-right
Let's zown some trances, make the round
Scream it bounces, suck that sound
Cut it clever, rip it tight
Bleed discreetly, eat the night!

They'll burn you, but you won't notice
They'll kill you, still you won't focus
There's something else you think about
that seems to make you free of doubt
There's something bright shining in your eyes
that seems to mold and shape the lies
to something real, to something nice
till it all glows and fades to white
so sleep to sleep to sleep again tonight
(sleep to sleep to sleep again) tonight

about

Flaming Fire

"Flaming Fire’s frontman, Patrick Hambrecht, and his wife, Kate (who sings backup), are preachers’ children who seem as if they accidentally wandered onto the set of a Kenneth Anger film and decided to stay. The Hambrechts are waiting for the apocalypse, and their version of “Whiskey River” is the soundtrack to its aftermath." - Rachel Kushner, Author of "The Flame Throwers," New York Times ... more
