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 o their tongues
Guns and amazonian mums

I’m over all the bare lots
Do we always have to be so square?
I dream a million lego engineers
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
