Lyrics

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

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 good in ribbons
so just walk on in
she looked good in ribbons
so just walk on in

tie a red red 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
