Ribbons

It took all of California

To remind you why you came

Monterey to Camarillo

Camarillo to L.A.

Driving with the headlights off

Ribbons running down your face

'Cause you've never known love like that

So you dance the night away

And the night bleeds into Sunday morning

And it feels like it's going your way

Then all the lights in the bar turn on

And you remember why you came

And suddenly you're sober

And you stay up for the sunrise like a songbird

Moonwalking like a creature

Just happy to, to be here at all

And suddenly you're older

Spinning the turnstile over and over

Who's gonna hold you while you sleep? Well

It's brave to be nothing to no one at all

It's out of my hands

What can I tell you?

I'm not losing it

I'm just having a laugh

Counting my paces

I'm making faces

At the one who stares at me

At the end of the glass
