liberty belle

liberty belle is ringing out

across the sea

and everyone sings along

though she's singing way out of key

from the shores of gallilie

to the runways of anglesea

you know we're digging to hell

right past your own well

as the magpies fly from tallahasee

to the sky

memory lane forgot her way

after all this time

and she never learned her mistakes

and all the crime

that caused the gulf of misery

that separated you from me

you know we're digging to hell

drowning in our oil wells

as the seagulls from abu dhabi

to the sky

the birds still sing their melodies

their songs of love and food and trees

oh my how they fly

so little do they know yet their days are numbered so

alarms are ringing in the trees

you know you've been to hell

drowning in your oil wells

as the ashes fly from new york city

past the grimy clouds above new jersey

past the kids who like to smoke like chimneys

to the sky
