When I saw you from across the bar
It occured to me we never could be
Though I hadn't thought that far
And though I hadn't thought it
It kept floating back upwards
Oh, never kept on ringing, ringing
Though I never use the word

It's a ring
I'm running around it, babe
It's a ring
It's safety and dangerous
It's the frequency we hear in our sleep
It's ringing

Never melted under forever anyway
Highway, oh, highway
We play and play and play
Every day is another date and a date is a show day
We leave them all a-ringing, ringing
On our hands we keep them safe

It's a ring
I'm running around it, babe
It's a ring
It's safety and dangerous
It's a frequency we hear in our sleep
It's a-ringing

Oh, I follow
Oh, I lead
Oh, I follow
We always do both things

It's a ring
I'm running around it, babe
It's a ring
It's safety and dangerous
It's the frequency we hear in our sleep
It's a ringing thing
