Black Ribbons Lyrics


Broke down at the end of the night
Can't seem to get anything right
So numb I can't feel things anymore
Somehow could feel me letting go
I know there's so many things
That I need to do and I need to say
No matter how hard I try
I can't get the words out right
Man down, tie a ribbon around my soul
I'm in the black and I'm out of control
Like a ship that's lost in the night
With no direction or guiding light
Man down and I'm drowning in the pain
Face down like a needle in the vein
You're the only thing that keeps me sane
But somehow I can't keep you out of my rain
I see you standing in the rain
The lights in the city feel so bright

All these colors I've got inside
And in these streets I feel like a foreigner
All I paint is myself in a corner
Going on seems to hurt so much
All the world seems so cold to the touch
When I go to sleep I don't dream
I just see a blank television screen
Man down, tie a ribbon around my soul
I'm in the black and I'm out of control
Like a ship that's lost in the night
With no direction or guiding light
Man down and I'm drowning in the pain
Face down like a needle in a vein
You're the only thing that keeps me sane
But somehow I can't keep you out of my rain
I see you standing in the rain
Tie a ribbon for the child in me
On every door and on every tree
Make it black for the way that I feel
'Cause black is the only color that's real
Man down, tie a ribbon around my soul
I'm in the black and I'm out of control
Like a ship that's lost in the night
With no direction or guiding light
Man down and I'm drowning in their pain
Face down like a needle in a vein
You're the only thing that keeps me sane
But somehow I can't keep you out of my rain
I see you standing in the rain
Broke down at the end of the night
Can't seem to get anything right

Forming in 1978, The Apartments were a four-piece band who played around Brisbane, Australia and released the EP 'Return Of The Hypnotist' weeks after the original band split in late 1979. The EP was released by the Able Label, which was formed by Damien Nelson and Grant McLennan. The first recognised line-up of the group featured Peter Milton Walsh (vocals, guitar), Michael O'Connell (guitar, vocals), Peter Martin (drums) and Peter Whitby (bass).
