White Ribbon

Maybe I won’t find you

White ribbon tied around your arms

But you don’t leave anything left to chance

With your bloody hands

Slipping thru the curfew

Throw your back out with the weight

You, couldn’t - sit back/feet up/wait

Leave unopened doors

Sun repeat your cycle

The morning brings relief to some

Stop - your voice- disappearin’ so fast

Never touch the ground

The city but a shadow

The birds have come to build their roost

You could/ light me a fat cigar

And I’ll probably choke

Father are you lonely?

The kids have got a lot to bear

He tried to - wrap you up so tight

Like a hungry man

My name is not important

I did what someone else can do

So Step aside son - this time

I am never done

Man, where do you come from?

Are all the men so strong?

Muscles in the tip of their tongues

Guns and Amazonian mums

I’m over all the bare lots

Do we always have to be so square?

I dream a - mil -lion lego-en-gin-eers

Stacking paradise

Maybe I won’t find you

White ribbon tied around your arms

But you don’t leave anything left to chance

With your bloody hands
