The Bells Are Ringing Lyrics - Factory Showroom - They Might Be Giants

The bells are ringing 

The song they're singing 

The sound is bringing the people 'round 

They hear the instructions 

They follow directions 

They travel great distances to the sound 

The bells are ringing 

The song they're singing 

The sound is bringing the people 'round (the bells are ringing the song they're singing the sound is) 

They hear the instructions (bringing the people 'round) 

They follow directions 

They travel great distances to the sound (they travel great distances to the sound)

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

They are persuaded by the music of the bells 

They're not responsible for anything they do 

(No) The people know 

(No) The way to go 

The bells are ringing, they hear the sound 

They hear the sound (they hear the sound) 

They hear the sound (they hear the sound) 

They hear the sound (they hear the sound) 

They hear the sound 

The bells are ringing 

And everyone's walking 

With arms extended in a trance 

Forgetting their washing 

Neglecting the children 

They're dropping all businesses at hand 

Photos 

A voice is telling them to act a different way 

They tilt their heads so they won't miss what it will say 

(No) And when it's so 

(No) There's this to know 

The bells are ringing, they hear the sound 

The bells are ringing 

The song they're singing 

The sound is bringing the people 'round 

They hear the instructions 

They follow directions 

They travel great distances to the sound 

They are persuaded by the music of the bells 

They're not responsible for anything they do 

(No) The people know 

(No) The way to go 

The bells are ringing, they hear the sound 

A girl with cotton in her ears 

Is shielded from the bells' effect 

As if by hidden signal 

The people turn to face her 

One thousand eyes are staring 

They pull away her earplugs 

The bells are pealing 

And they're revealing 

The simple key to happiness 

It isn't evil 

It isn't good 

It's only what the people miss 

The bells explain what they've been lacking all along 

They were disorganized and that was what was wrong 

(No) And now they know 

(No) The way to go 

The bells are ringing, they hear the sound 

The bells are ringing 

The song they're singing 

The sound is bringing the people 'round (the bells are ringing the song they're singing the sound is) 

They hear the instructions (bringing the people 'round) 

They follow directions 

They travel great distances to the sound (the bells are ringing the song they're singing the sound is) 

The bells are ringing (bringing the people 'round) 

The song they're singing 

The sound is bringing the people 'round (the bells are ringing the song they're singing the sound is) 

They hear the instructions (bringing the people 'round) 

They follow directions 

They travel great distances to the sound (the bells are ringing the song they're singing the sound is) 

The bells are ringing (bringing the people 'round) 

The song they're singing 

The sound is bringing the people 'round (the bells are ringing the song they're singing the sound is) 

They hear the instructions (bringing the people 'round) 

They follow directions 

They travel great distances to the sound (they travel great distances to the sound)
