Ribcage

We blew the doors didn’t we?
Pissed in their champagne
And did a real thing didn’t we?
Gave ourselves a name
And peeled away the shame
I wanted to explode
To pull my ribs apart
And let the sun inside
To pull my ribs apart
And let the sun inside

Red stain blossoms
And all you have is kisses
And all you have is kisses
Red stain blossoms
And all you have is kisses
And all you have is kisses

And when the sunshine
Throwin’ me a lifeline
Finds its way into my room
All I need is you

We blew the doors didn’t we?
Pissed in their champagne
And did a real thing didn’t we?

To pull my ribs apart
And let the sun inside
To pull my ribs apart
And let the sun inside

Red stain blossoms
And all you have is kisses
And all you have is kisses
Red stain blossoms
And all you have is kisses
And all you have is kisses

And we called that love
And we called that love
And we called that love
And we called that love
And we called that love
And we called that love

And when the sunshine
Throwin’ me a lifeline
Finds it’s way into my room
All I need is you

And when the sunshine
Throwin’ me a lifeline
Finds its way into my room
All I need is you

And when the sunshine
Throwin’ me a lifeline
Finds it’s way into my room
All I need is you

And when the sunshine
Throwin’ me a lifeline
Finds its way into my room
All I need is you

And when the sunshine
Throwin’ me a lifeline
Finds its way into my room
All I need is you

And when the sunshine
Throwin’ me a lifeline
Finds its way into my room
All I need is you
All I need is you

All you have is kisses
And all I need is you
