Ribbon Around The Bomb Blossoms

[Intro]
(One, two, three, four)

[Refrain]
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

[Chorus]
Are we one ribbon around the bomb?

[Verse]
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"

[Chorus]
Are we one ribbon around the bomb?
Take me home, ribbon around the bomb

[Bridge]
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
