RIBBON

[Verse 1]

Plastic cup full of danger

Tell me, would you like a sip?

Do laps round the public fountain

A smoke for our picnic

Uncle Wray, two limoncello skins

You put your hand halfway up my skirt

Tonight, please, don't you mention her

Cause I can't bear to hurt

[Chorus]

Row the boat, take the ribbon out of my hair

Grab my throat, know I miss you when you're not there

Say my lullabies don't let you rest, like the heartbeat in my chest

Oh, my lullabies, they keep you up, maybe we shouldn't sleep

[Verse 2]

Can we dance in the dark

To the sounds of growing old?

Hop the fence at the park

Cut my dress and go home

List the names of girls

Who buy you things

I'll get mad and detach

I love your suffering

[Pre-Chorus]

Could it be that

I'm part of the problem?

Choose to not believe it

That just sounds like gossip

[Chorus]

Row the boat, take the ribbon out of my hair

Grab my throat, know I miss you when you're not there

Say my lullabies don't let you rest, like the heartbeat in my chest

Oh, my lullabies, they keep you up, maybe we shouldn't sleep

[Verse 3]

Baby, can we tie the knot?

You should unwrap your gift

Please, don't make me wait

My love is urgent on my lips

I know you're lovin' that, lovin' that soft life

You want it bad, want it bad? Ask nice

This Baltic has some good worth

You slip inside, I'll baptise you

[Pre-Chorus]

Row the boat, take the ribbon out of my hair

(Buy me a ring, the happiness I'll bring)

Grab my throat, know I miss you when you're not there

(Boy, I'll kick you round, baby show me if you're down)

[Chorus]

Row the boat, take the ribbon out of my hair

Grab my throat, know I miss you when you're not there

Say my lullabies don't let you rest, like the heartbeat in my chest

Oh, my lullabies, they keep you up, maybe we shouldn't sleep
