Ruby Cumulous

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Once my lover, now she's dressed up in gold Silk and cedar, sleeping out in the cold Got my badge, got my gun, got my anger [Chorus] She didn't wanna sleep alone that night And I said, "Who would say no? Who would say no?" I didn't answer when she called that night Oh, my God, twenty years old, twenty years old Now, when I close my eyes I see her face 'Cause the love you give is the love you take And the heart you hold is the one you break It's my behavior that I abhor I was her savior and she was my scapegoat [Verse 2] Ruby cumulous in an alley alone Dial the number, but there's nobody home Got my foil, got my fire, got my sorrow [Chorus] She didn't wanna sleep alone that night And I said, "Who would say no? Who would say no?" I didn't answer when she called that night Oh, my God, twenty years old, twenty years old Now, when I close my eyes I see her face 'Cause the love you give is the love you take And the heart you hold is the one you break It's my behavior that I abhor I was her savior and she was my scapegoat Like paper angels, strung in a row Drunk with inertia, they never grow old [Outro] Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no
