Ruby Dear

Lyrics

[Intro] 'Round and 'round and we won't let go And where we stop no one knows Uh-huh, uh-huh Down and down in a spin we turn Looking like we'll never learn Uh-huh, uh-huh [Verse 1] Think about what everyone is saying Ruby dear, oh, don't you hear? Late at night when the radio is playing Ruby dear, so looky here [Chorus] Oh, this record's broken It slips a beat And all those watermelons Have gone to seed [Verse 2] Nothing lives in this dirty little river No one here will shed a tear It dried up but it couldn't run forever Ruby dear, that's what we hear [Chorus] I still like the ocean Down by the sea They left that door wide open It tempted me [Verse 3] Hounding me from the bedroom to the kitchen Ruby dear, I'm still right here Now they've thrown the fox amongst the chickens It's too deep, I'll drown in my sleep [Chorus] Angels and prostitutes They might look the same And if to hell we're going I'll see you there [Outro] 'Round and 'round and we won't let go And where we stop no one knows Uh-huh, uh-huh Down the street where the bonfires glow Looking like they lost control Uh-huh, uh-huh Settle down in that rocking chair Breathing in that rotten air Uh-huh, uh-huh Johnny Jones fell fast asleep Down a hole where the rocks are steep Uh-huh, uh-huh
