Ribbons lyrics
by The Sisters of Mercy
[Verse 1]
I'm lying on my back now
The stars look all too near
Flowers on the razor wire
I know you're here
We are few and far between
I was thinking about her skin
Love is a many splintered thing
Don't be afraid now, just walk on in
[Refrain]
Flowers on the razor wire
Walk on in
[Verse 2]
Her eyes were cobalt red
Her voice was cobalt blue
I see no purple light crashing out of you
So just walk on in
[Refrain]
Flowers on the razor wire
Walk on in
[Verse 3]
Her lovers queued up in the hallway
I heard them scratching at the door
I tried to tell her about Marx and Engels, God and angels
I don't really know what for
[Refrain]
But she looked good in ribbons
So just walk on in
She looked good in ribbons
So just walk on in
Tie a red, red, red, red, red, red ribbon
Love is a many splintered thing
Tie a red, red, red, red ribbon
Don't be afraid, just walk on in
[Outro]
Just walk on in
(Incoming!)
(Incoming!)
Just walk on in
Just walk on in
Flowers on the razor wire
Just walk on in
Love is a many splintered thing
Just walk on in
(Incoming!)
