Deep Red Bells Lyrics

Cover art for Deep Red Bells lyrics by Neko Case

Now that I know what it's about, I have to say that the line "when speckled fronds raise round your bones" is one of the creepiest I've ever heard. She's got a hell of a way with words.

I was living in Washington when they caught the Green River killer. She's right about the plenitude of serial killers out there, by the way. Seems like once a week you hear about another serial killing on the news. Freaky place to live; I can't imagine growing up there, especially as a pretty girl.

I sorta hear that as "when speckled fawns graze round your bones".. creepier still, fits a little better, too.
