Belltown Lyrics

By day I hear the screams
Of a compromising scene
Has the wailing wall ridden
The waves back through time

What kind of idea
Has been planted in the mind
When stealing babies and killing
Your folks earns you a spot on
Prime time

Down we go
One more time
Here we go

And I ask – is this right?
To anyone who would hear
Is it something I missed or wasn't told

And life goes on – in Belltown...

The needle finds its way
Into daddy's arm to stay
While the kids are thrown to the night
And told to play

The sirens sound piercing the night
Shots echo's lead me to the sight
A dead body – nothing left – but a proud
Punk saying this is my life

Down we go
One more time
Here we go

And life goes on – in Belltown...

Ring the bells in Belltown
Another soul's thrown away
Ring the bells in Belltown
Should we cry or should we pray

Ring the bells in Belltown
For the children born today
Ring the bells in Belltown
For the price they'll have to payable

Ring the bells in Belltown
Another death tonight
Ring the bells in Belltown
Ask God to make it right
