| Clear as a Bell
Can you hear a bell?
A school bell, door bell, church bell?
That bell's vibrations, its frequencies
are like a happy piano going...ding, ding, ding...
and like someone singing...wo, wo, wo...
It's funny. It's like bones cracking together
and like a deer calling its family.
It's like a dolphin sending a water signal
and you can hear it
all the way to Mexico,
all the way to China.
