[Verse 1]
The devil dressed in good news, settle for a sunset
Out beyond an empty bay
Broken was the odd pier, peering was a past ship
That floated where the flocks would stay
Bike against a palm tree, sinking in the grey sand
Fighting off the rust that burns
It's quiet by a shut church, the waves say that a storm's near
Gulls sleep as the sunshine fades
[Chorus]
Happy to be carefree, do tell?
Just round the bend, so shall it be
Happy to be, where are the bells?
Happy to be carefree, do tеll?
Reapers at end, so shall it bе
Maybe we flee to the bells
[Verse 2]
Lulling to the sweeper, cleaning up a front porch
Mosquitos stinging in my sweat
Hiding from the heat wave, it's a lot of waiting
Nowadays we always wait
Drumming on an oak bench, singing with cicada
Running in the pollen wind
When something feels united, then there's a lot of purpose
Fixing on a sweeper's grin
[Chorus]
Happy to be carefree, do tell?
Just round the bend, so shall it be
Happy to be, where are the bells?
Happy to be carefree, do tell?
Reapers at end, so shall it be
Maybe we flee to the bells
Happy to be carefree, do tell?
Just round the bend, so shall it be
Happy to be, where are the bells?
[Verse 3]
There was once a time when I fished with my Daddy
Who could watch the news and sleep all day
But what good could the news do when you’re always sleeping?
Sweeping up another grey
[Chorus]
Happy to be carefree, do tell?
Just round the bend, so shall it be
Happy to be, where are the bells?
Happy to be carefree, do tell?
Reapers at end, so shall it be
Maybe we flee to the bells
Happy to be carefree, do tell?
Just round the bend, so shall it be
Happy to be, where are the bells?
Happy to be carefree, do tell?
Reapers at end, so shall it be
Maybe we flee to the bells
Happy to be carefree, do tell?
Just round the bend, so shall it be
Happy to be, where are the bells?
Happy to be carefree, do tell?
Reapers at end, so shall it be
Maybe we flee to the bells
