about

BellA is an ode to payphones and by proxy to an era not that long ago of less convenience and more freedom.

lyrics

There was a time not that long ago, when you were around,
In front of every liquor store or pizza joint in town.
I could use you whenever I wanted to, or another one down the street.
Everyone took advantage of you for a reasonable fee.
When the beeper went off I ran to you.
It was a mess.
Boozin’, drugs and gamblin’. You were the best.
Breaking in begging, wanting to talk.
I was so goddamn tired and you made me walk.

(chorus)
I only miss you cause I hate your replacement.
And I hated you when I had to stand out in the rain.
I can’t believe I ever pushed your buttons with my fingers,
Or let your grimy mouth rub up against mine.
But now that you’re gone, there’s just robots and porn
And I can’t leave my house anymore.
No I can’t leave my house anymore.
