<pre><font size='+2'>WORK NOT PLAY lyrics JIM CARROLL BAND</font><br>The bell rings . . .<br />
It`s a decade past my decadence<br />
My beast wears rings and he`s waiting<br />
In the shadows of my hesitations, my silent<br />
Hesitations . . . Each image is so clear;<br />
It seems I have no hands<br />
The gestures of the air confuse all my demands <br />
<br />
And the beast hears the bell; he comes<br />
Out of the shadows. He rips apart the shadows . . .<br />
And he says: <br />
<br />
`This is work and not play`<br />
And he says:<br />
`There`s always more than one way . . .<br />
This is work not play` <br />
<br />
Refrain:<br />
I see the ghosts of my childhood . . .<br />
Dressed in blue, they trail me in the night<br />
They drive these cars with real upholstery<br />
They trail me until . . . here comes the night <br />
<br />
She was standing, standing on the balcony<br />
Her black, black eyes folded over her eyelids<br />
Like sheets on motel beds . . .<br />
She must be eatin` reds<br />
This place is filled with mirrors<br />
It echoes what she said<br />
And she said:<br />
<br />
`I need a judgement day` And she said:<br />
`I know there`s more than one way,<br />
But I want my judgement day . . .` <br />
<br />
Repeat Refrain <br />
<br />
To sleep without dreams<br />
So distant from the mirror<br />
Imitating clarity, disguising<br />
All the terror . . . I heard a thousand bells<br />
>From a thousand old cathedrals<br />
They rang . . . I haven`t heard them since<br />
A decade past my decadence<br />
The beast hears the bell <br />
<br />
I`m cursed to be a singer<br />
A singer of the flames<br />
A thinker of a fire<br />
And a son without a name <br />
<br />

The bell rings . . .
It`s a decade past my decadence
My beast wears rings and he`s waiting
In the shadows of my hesitations, my silent
Hesitations . . . Each image is so clear;
It seems I have no hands
The gestures of the air confuse all my demands

And the beast hears the bell; he comes
Out of the shadows. He rips apart the shadows . . .
And he says:

`This is work and not play`
And he says:
`There`s always more than one way . . .
This is work not play`

Refrain:
I see the ghosts of my childhood . . .
Dressed in blue, they trail me in the night
They drive these cars with real upholstery
They trail me until . . . here comes the night

She was standing, standing on the balcony
Her black, black eyes folded over her eyelids
Like sheets on motel beds . . .
She must be eatin` reds
This place is filled with mirrors
It echoes what she said
And she said:

`I need a judgement day` And she said:
`I know there`s more than one way,
But I want my judgement day . . .`

Repeat Refrain

To sleep without dreams
So distant from the mirror
Imitating clarity, disguising
All the terror . . . I heard a thousand bells
>From a thousand old cathedrals
They rang . . . I haven`t heard them since
A decade past my decadence
The beast hears the bell

I`m cursed to be a singer
A singer of the flames
A thinker of a fire
And a son without a name
