It's a Beacon It's a Bell Songtext
von Matt the Electrician

(It) was exactly at the right time.
All of the angels were telling me to pay attention.
And all the numbers were standing in a line.
It was the easiest of days.
There was unexpected sunshine
It was all that I could see.
And everything was going my way.
And I wondered if you had waited
′til the morning after the night.
If you might have seen the same things,
You might've seen the same bright light.

Like a beacon like a bell.
Or maybe it′s just as well,
Wherever you are,
There's no way to tell you now.


(It) was an ornament of stars.
There was magic that I could not comprehend.
There were bells and they were ringing like guitars.
Was it upside down?
I could've cried if I′d thought a little harder,
But I was laughing until I hit the ground.
And I know that I′m still standing,
Though the ground continues to shake,
And for all the good I might give,
Oh, it's more than my share that I take.

It′s a token it's a shell,
Or maybe it′s justa as well,
Wherever you are,
There's no way to tell you now.

And when my heart got bigger, I could see you better.
Oh, when my heart got bigger, I could see you better.
Yeah, when my heart got bigger, I could see you better.

I love all of my girlfriends.
Not in that way, but they were friends and they were girls,
And I was troubled by the world of men.
And I spent far too many days,
Misguided, misdirection of the heart,
And I took some time to navigate that maze.
And every morning is an exclamation.
There′re stories that are forming every night.
And I know it's not to win or lose.
There is only reaching for the light.


It's a beacon it′s a bell.
I never have felt so well,
But wherever you are,
There′s no way to tell you now.
