The Black Belles The Black Belles Lyrics
1.Leave You With A Letter

You thought you put a blindfold over my eyes
But all along I could see just fine
I'm not gonna put up with one more night

I gave you my hand & then you slapped my wrist
I hope you know that will never be missed
Our days they only ended up in a fight
I hope you know you're gonna have to make new plans for tonight

Our cards have been laid out on our table too long
You didn't play 'em right so now I'm gone
And you ain't my baby, I'm not listening to your whining no more
Take those screams to your mother's door

Maybe I'll stick a pin in a voodoo doll
So I can rip all our photos off the wall
Maybe I'll throw a match on, on the bed that we made
So I can melt all those silly old records we played

It wouldn't disturb me if you die all alone
(Ha)
When I disappear this, this town will shun my name
I can't see why not, I got yours to blame
You won't see it coming, won't think it true
I'll leave you with a letter 'cause it's the least I can do


2.In A Cage

In this room that I'm in you gotta sin to get in, uh huh
You gotta staple on a grin & let them push in the pin
In this bed where I lay I got no choice to stay, uh uh
And no right words to say despite you making me pray

I can't control my fate
I am in a cage
How long must I wait?
I am in a cage

And once you leave this place plan your lies & your pace, uh huh
And don't you ever feel sore, what happened behind that door, uh
uh
No, we are in this together, you can never leave, never
There is a lock on the gate, I run but it's too late, uh huh

I can't control my fate
I am in a cage
How long must I wait?
I am in a cage

Our hope is spilt on the floor, you're not a child no more
We may have had our fun but now there's no where to run, uh uh
Under the watchman's eye I must hide, I must hide, uh huh
I've given up all I can, you hold it in your hands, uh huh


3.Wishing Well

Once the screaming hits the ceiling & the white flag is raised &
the enemy lines erased
We're standing helpless, no sympathy
Two damaged hearts growing distant as the silence takes the
stage

Well which one's lying?
No one can tell
We threw ourselves in
To a wishing well

Guilt is fogging my sanity
A chapter has ended & is soaked in blood
And we're detaching, the past unmatching and my heartstrings are
tangled & all mangled up

But which one's lying?
No one can tell
We threw ourselves in
To a wishing well

Once the screaming hits the ceiling & the white flag is raised &
the enemy lines erased
We're standing helpless, no sympathy
Two damaged hearts growing distant as the silence takes the
stage

Which one's lying?
I just can't tell
We threw ourselves in
To a wishing well


4.Honky Tonk Horror

(Ruby? Honey, are you there?)

I've been a bad girl
I've been a bad girl
I wanna be good again

Threw the gun out the window & lit my cigarette
It dropped into the river so it's easy to forget
I buried my innocence deep into the ground
All along the interstate heading south

Chanting I've been a bad girl
And I wash the blood from my hands again

We met at the honky-tonk, his eyes crept to mine
I had a lonely heart to give & he took it in no time
He gave me lies, I gave him love, that was our trade
But he locked me up too tight, & that was his mistake

And I was chanting I've been a bad girl
And I wash the blood from my hands again

Hell hath no fury now for what you done to me
The devil's on my shoulder & he doesn't disagree
He thought it was his game but I saw the dirt on his grin
But in the end it was I who threw the dirt over him

Chanting I've been a bad girl
I've been a bad girl
I want to be good again


5.The Wrong Door

There is no amity to be gained
It's clear you hold nothing that is mine to claim
And there ain't no way of knowing
It's the truth that you've been showing
Seek around, you leave small hints but aren't aware

You fixed a blossom in my hair
I tried to keep it alive but instead it quickly died
Was that coincidence to ?
Premonition right before my eyes

I'm lonely
And I'm knocking on the wrong door, bang!
And I'm knocking on the door
And I'm lonely and I'm knocking on the door, bang!
And I'm knocking on the wrong door

Every time I wake up wondering about you
Deep down I know it's just a waste to do
Still in the morning I play dead
To keep you from pulling the pillow over my head
Begging for just to sneak a word in
Why must I be the one feeling forsaken?
I know is a feeling I must shake
With intention so delicate
That's bound to break

I'm lonely and
And I'm knocking on the wrong door, bang!
And I'm knocking on the door
I'm lonely and I'm knocking on the door, bang!
And I'm knocking on the wrong door

You led me and then lied me by surprise
I'm not knocking on a door with pitiful eyes
I should've realized it was more than a game
And for you it's just the same

I'm lonely
And I'm knocking on the wrong door, bang!
And I'm knocking on the wrong door
Lonely and I'm knocking on the wrong door, bang!
And I'm knocking on the door
You should've warn me
I was knocking on the wrong door, bang!
I was knocking on the wrong door
Lonely and I'm knocking on the wrong door, bang!
And I'm knocking on the wrong door
