Ribbons

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
(Flowers on the razor wire)
(Walk on in)
Her eyes were cobalt red
Her voice was cobalt blue
I see no purple light
Crashing out of you
So just walk on in
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
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 red red ribbon
Love
Is a many splintered thing
Tie a red red red red ribbon
Don't be afraid
Just walk on in
