Lyrics
Ribbon Road
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Oh fallen low
Endless round, endless roll
Endlessly signalling so
And it's been real gold
Onward, headlong, night bus stoned
Oh tell us how telephone
Swollen thumb written on
Window of the iron lung
In a hot wet glow
Onward, headlong, night bus stoned
Black curls, pale skin, paler in black underwear
Later on, later on, later on we won't care
Onward, headlong, night bus stoned
