Ribbon Around the Bomb

She said life gets no better and no worse

'Cause where we came from, they tell you it's a curse

Hiding places lonely as she does

Their smiling faces, no they don't need us tonight

Are we one ribbon around the bomb?

My nocturnal creature, she don't sleep

For all the sounds here, they’re so strange to me

Then she said, "Boy, meet me by the beach

On the edge of the retreating sea tonight"

Are we one ribbon around the bomb?

Take me home, ribbon around the bomb

As you gaze from your heavy heart

No, we won't do you any harm

Plenty small ones and many large

Into your arms, until we part

She said life gets no better and no worse

'Cause where we came from, they tell you it's a curse

Hiding places lonely as she does

Their smiling faces, no they don't need us tonight

Are we one ribbon around the bomb?

Take me home, ribbon around the bomb

Ribbon around the bomb, the bomb, the bomb

Ribbon around the bomb, the bomb, the bomb

Ribbon around the bomb
