Ribbons" - Vision Thing - Sisters of Mercy



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

(flowers on the razor wire)

(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 goo din ribbons

so just walk on in

she looked good in ribbons

so just walk on in



tie a 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



just walk on in

(incoming...)

(incoming...)

just walk on in

just walk on in

flowers on the razor wire

just walk on in...
