about

I love The Byrds.

lyrics

Singing so sweetly and talking so fine
New bells ringing at the old salt mine
Cold consolation but everyone’s free
Providing comfort to powers that be

Someone’s always standing in the way yeah
Someone’s always telling us what to do

Masses are moving without accord
Tears are a luxury they can’t afford
Ready and willing just marking time
Keep excavating on down in the mine

Come and wash the novelty away
Come and smudge the lens on what is new

Dyed in the wool a full-blown believer
Fickle of fate and a fussy eater
Summoning forth the intellectual streaker
Tuning in on the worldwide receiver

Firing up the lantern to show the way yeah
Calculate an angle that is true
No one’s gonna be standing in our way yeah
No one’s gonna tell us what to do

Dyed in the wool a full-blown believer
Fickle of fate and a fussy eater
Summoning forth the intellectual streaker
Tuning in on the worldwide receiver

Tragedy outrage E-N-N-U-I
All this pours out of an impending sky
Time is the essence and time is the thing
What do you hear when the new bells ring
