Hear the Bells Vanessa Carlton

[Verse 1]
Stealing glances through the keyhole
In a brick wall's wooden door
Chains are keeping quiet secrets on 200 year-old folklore
There's a graveyard on Elizabeth where no one ever goes
Kneel and pray to the gravestone
But the gravestone never tells

[Chorus]
Hear the bells
Hear the bells

[Verse 2]
December, crossing arms in Chinatown
As the wind starts to cut through
Always, always on the look-out but the poison's
Running through you
My stomach aches, try to concentrate
Walk the stairs to the 3rd floor
Now I'm asking a witchdoctor
But the witchdoctor won't tell

[Chorus]
Hear the bells
Hear the bells
Hear the bells
Hear the bells
