When you feel so far away
Though you're close to everything
And the feeling of estrangement's creeping up on spider's legs
Even in these days of wonder,
Even in the age of faith
There are some who going under
There are some who never got it made
So you passed so many years in a labyrinth of traces
Running round and round they led to no one but yourself
Here comes the eternal stranger
He who has fallen from grace to the iron grounds
And I'm tolling my bell
Can you hear me when I'm tolling my bell?
Yes, I'm tolling my bell
Just to let you know
I'm here by your side in these days full of wonder
In the ashes of your time
When the dragon screams for more
The reptiles make their comeback in your eyes
And heroes fall for heroin
And heaven falls for fake
And doris' daisies burn to hell
On the grand parade of lies
In the middle of the night
When the last of god has died
And the only friend you've got is the heartbeat of the clock
That music plays for all time
The tv light is freezing the war-paint on your face.
And I'm tolling my bell
Can you hear me when I'm tolling my bell?
Yes, I'm tolling my bell
Just to let you know
I'm here by your side in these days full of wonder
In the middle of the night
When the last of god has died
And the only friend you've got is the heartbeat of the clock
And I'm tolling my bell
Can you hear me when I'm tolling my bell?
Yes, I'm tolling my bell
Can you hear me when I'm tolling my bell?
In the ashes of your time
When the dragon screams for more
These days full of wonder (Yeah)
And heroes fall for heroin
And heaven falls for fake
These days full of wonder (Ooh)
In the middle of the night
When the last of god has died
These days full of wonder
And heroes fall for heroin
And heaven falls for fake
These days full of wonder
