Ribbons and Bows
A long ago and what's his name
Yeh spilled out on the road like a bucket of rain
You know I didn't come to 'cos she knows my mind
It's 'cos she stones my soul a sleep at a time
Lay down your ribbons & bows
And let your hair hang greasy and low, and oh
On a sparkling cushion we lie, its' like
Like a new state of mind
Yeh it's a new state of mind
She was the newest mama in the shortest skirt
(Hey ain't askin' her to know my mind)
I promise never again to tell how it hurt
(Your tears are mine)
Yeh, but as my mind goes dancing while the gin picks the tune
Hitch your ride to my wagon, I'll bring you the moon
Lay down your ribbons and bows
And let your hair hang greasy and low, and oh
On a gift shop cushion we lie, it's like
Like a new state of mind
Yeh it's a new state of mind
Lay down your ribbons & bows
And let your hair hang greasy and low, and oh
On a sparkling cushion we lie, it's like
Like a new state of mind
Yeh it's a new state of mind
Lay down your ribbons & bows
When they beat me down I got a joint where we can go, and oh
On a gift shop cushion we lie, it's like
Like a new state of mind (it's a new state of mind)
Yeh it's a new state of mind (it's a new state of mind)
It's a new state of mind (it's a new state of mind)
It's a new state of mind
