Rodrigo Amarante - The Ribbon lyrics

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
