Red Ribbons

Beyond the pale
a rock'n'roll betrayal
Why won't you stop thinking
it's all gonna slip into chaos again
You kid yourself dreaming
While mornings withers away
Parked cars and white roses laid
out in the snow

And Im asking you for the last time
to hold on

Get yourself a life
frustration bites much harder
When love means a stitch
you make reservations
in empty places

And Im asking you for the last time
to hold on
Tighter than red ribbons
on a wedding gift
Tighter than the deep red ribbons
on a gift

Get yourself a life
and hold on to it
Tighter than red ribbons
on a wedding gift
Tighter than the deep red ribbons
on a gift
