the ribbon

amarante, rodrigo

the ribbon is cut

now cameras are gone

the news are all one

the party goes on

done

it's been said

and up goes the flag

an ox has been killed

in display the head

then he came to me

born with a heart

he poured me the one

fixed me up straight

son

he said

i knew you would

hell can only do you good

you'll be where you should

so i kissed the ring

i missed the hand

ask who you must

faith it is trust

and justice be made

for numbers we pray

a woman made blind

with angels at guard

servants of lords

with a scale and a sword

she's looking at me

she sees through the night

a hit and run

no one in sight

boy

she said

you oughta know

classifieds will never show

what the aces do

to the queen of hearts

i know
