Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Little town Tiny clocks Cabbage rows in careful blocks Every hat at the same dull slant Every whisper a worried chant Bell at one Bell at two Every tick approved by you Narrow minds in tidy hats Counting minutes like they’re maps [Chorus] Here comes the devil in the belfry Boots on the rafters Laughing loud Tearing up your blessed schedule Shaking dust from every cloud Here comes the devil in the belfry Twisting time like braided smoke All your perfect little minutes Snap and splinter as he jokes (hey!) [Verse 2] He waltzed in at a crooked hour Wild grin Cabbage-flower Fiddle tucked beneath his chin Let the wicked dance begin Mayor’s monocle hit the floor Priests forgot what prayers were for Every pendulum lost its place When he tapped the clock’s pale face [Chorus] Here comes the devil in the belfry Boots on the rafters Laughing loud Tearing up your blessed schedule Shaking dust from every cloud Here comes the devil in the belfry Twisting time like braided smoke All your perfect little minutes Snap and splinter as he jokes [Bridge] Twelve struck thirteen Hands ran wild Every cabbage Turned and smiled (ooh) You begged the sky For discipline But all you heard Was his violin [Chorus] Here comes the devil in the belfry You built a cage and called it peace He broke the bars with crooked music Gave your frightened clocks release Here comes the devil in the belfry Dancing on your sacred plan Now every hour that dares to differ Sounds a little more like man
