bells
She Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

City sidewalks, busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air, there's a feeling of Christmas
Children laughing, people passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on every street corner, you'll hear

Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day

City street lights, even stop lights
Blinking red and green
As the shoppers rush home with their treasures

Hear the snow crunch, see the kids bunch
This is Santa's big scene
And above all the bustle, you'll hear

Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city




Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day

I'm a rolling thunder
Pouring rain
I'm comin' on like a hurricane
My lightning's flashing across the sky
You're only young but you're gonna die

I won't take no prisoners

Won't spare no lives
Nobody's putting up a fight
I got my bell

I'm gonna take you to hell
I'm gonna get ya

Satan will get ya

Hell's Bells
Yeah, Hell's Bells
You got me ringing Hell's Bells
My temperature's high

Hell's Bells

I'll give you black sensations up & down your spine
If you're into evil you're a friend of mine
See my white light flashing as I split the night
Cause if good's on the left
Then I'm stickin' to the right

I won't take no prisoners

Won't spare no lives
Nobody's puttin' up a fight
I got my bell

I'm gonna take you to hell
I'm gonna get ya

Satan get ya

Hell's Bells
Ah, Hell's Bells
You got me ringing Hell's Bells
My temperature's high

Hell's Bells

Yeow

Hell's Bells

Satan's comin' to you
Hell's Bells

He's ringing them now
Hell's Bells

The temperature's high
Hell's Bells

Across the sky
Hell's Bells

They're takin' you down
Hell's Bells

They're draggin' you around
Hell's Bells

Gonna split the night
Hell's Bells

There's no way to fight

Yeah

Ow

Ow, ow
