You've painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted hair
Ruby are you contemplating going out somewhere?
The shadow on the wall tells me the sun is going down
Oh Ruby, don't take your love to town
It wasn't me that started that old crazy Asian war
But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chore
And yes, it's true that I'm not the man I used to be
Oh Ruby, I still need some company
It's hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralyzed
And the wants and the needs of a woman your age, Ruby, I realize
But it won?t be long, I?ve heard them say until I'm not around
Oh Ruby, don?t take your love to town
She?s leaving now 'cause I just heard the slamming of the door
The way I know I?ve heard it slam a hundred times before
And if I could move, I?d get my gun and put her in the ground
Oh Ruby, don?t take your love to town
Oh Ruby, for God?s sake turn around
You were a dreamer
They always got you by
Don't forget them
Or one by one they'll die
You have to know the dark to know the light when she comes
Too sad to see that she had never go
[Chorus:]
Oh I know the fire is hot hot hot
Ruby stay on the line
Oh just give it all you got got got
Ruby stay on the line
Cause I want my heart on your first fall for love(?)
I know you're gonna be fine
Come on Come on, Come on
Ruby stay on the line
I've never seen you so scared of everything
It's not who you are
Don't let them ring your end
Take the lid off now and show them what you got
I love you as you are
No matter what
[Chorus]
On the line
I hardly reconignize you lately
Don't ever tell me that your dreams are too old
I want to see you grabbing life like you used to
No don't you let go oh oh
You'll be fine
Come on Ruby stay on the line
Cause I want my heart on your first fall for love
I know you're gonna be fine
Come on [3x]
Ruby stay on the line
On the line
[Chorus 2x]
Come on [2x]
They say, Ruby, you're like a dream
Not always what you seem
And though my heart may break when I, I awake
Let it be so, I only know, Ruby, it's you
They say, Ruby, you're like a song
You just don't know right from wrong
And in your eyes I see heartaches for me
Right from the start, who stole my heart? Ruby, it's you
I hear your voice and I must come to you
(Must come to you)
I have no choice so what else can I do?
(What else can I do?)
They say, Ruby, you're like a flame
Into my life you came
And though I should beware, still I just don't care
You thrill me so, I only know, Ruby, it's you
I hear your voice and I must come to you
I have no choice, what else can I do? What can I do?
They say, Ruby, you're like a flame
Into my life you came
And though I should beware, still I don't care
You thrill me so, I only know, Ruby, it's you
Everybody was so pretty there
And up and jumping around
And easy, it's easy to sleep
With idiots and prophets
Leaves me wondering, ruby or iridescent cough drop
This baby's like a winter bird, raunchy and sweet
With snowflakes melting in his hair
The boys are supermen
Wondering, ruby or iridescent cough drop
You're the great convincer
Should I do this, am I good?
You can smell a fever
Should I do this, am I good?
Let's dive all the way down, all the way down, ooh
The two of us are old paint
My grandmother's horse
Still alive, still kicking
Not allowed to work
Ruby always waits a while before she stays
Never looking back till he’s miles away
Keeps her reputation like a stone
She’s not really tired, she’s just overgrown
She says, Hey, I could be wrong,
But at least I'm breathing!
Hey, we could go anywhere but down.
She says, Hey, let me be you
And I’ll fall down screaming!
Everything’s a miracle when you’ve got your face in the ground
Ruby never says what side she’s on
She lives in the shade of unfinished songs
She has got a photographic soul
Everyone she meets in a fractured hole
She says, Hey, I could be wrong,
But at least I'm breathing!
Hey, we could go anywhere but down.
She says, Hey, let me be you
And I’ll fall down screaming!
Everything’s a miracle when you’ve got your face in the ground
Ruby likes the sound of people’s clothes
No one ever knows when she’ll go
She’s got reservations with the ghost
She’s not looking back
She’s just growing old
She says, Hey, I could be wrong,
But at least I'm breathing!
Hey, we could go anywhere but down.
She says, Hey, let me be you
And I’ll fall down screaming!
Everything’s a miracle when you’ve got your face in the ground
Ruby always waits a while before she stays
Never looking back till he’s miles away
Keeps her reputation like a stone
Let it never be said, the romance is dead
'Cos there?s so little else occupying my head
There is nothing I need except the function to breathe
But I?m not really fussed, doesn?t matter to me
Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
And do ya, do ya, do ya, do ya
Know what ya doing, doing to me?
Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
Due to lack of interest tomorrow is canceled
Let the clocks be reset and the pendulums held
'Cos there?s nothing at all except the space in between
Finding out what you?re called and repeating your name
Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
And do ya, do ya, do ya, do ya
Know what ya doing, doing to me?
Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
Could it be, could it be that you?re joking with me
And you don?t really see you with me
Could it be, could it be that you?re joking with me
And you don?t really see you with me
Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
And do ya, do ya, do ya, do ya
Know what ya doing, doing to me?
Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
And do ya, do ya, do ya, do ya
Know what ya doing, doing to me?

Kill or be killed
I applaud it
Get away from me if you don't want it
Who could blame me?
Well you could maybe
I'm still in love with you and I'm black and blue
Naked Ruby cried
He fell onto the knife
Naked Ruby cried
He fell onto the knife
The hangman's daughter
Stockholm syndrome
Cut right through him
Let the light in
Kill or be killed
I applaud it
So get away from me if you don't want it
Naked Ruby cried
He fell onto the knife
Naked Ruby cried
He fell onto the knife
Your schizophrenia
A broken light bulb
Must let the light in
Get the truth told
Who could blame me?
You could maybe
I'm still in love with you and I'm black and blue
Naked Ruby cried
He fell onto the knife
Naked Ruby cried
Ich weiß schon nicht mehr, wie das alles kam,
dieser dumme Streit mit uns zwei.
Ein Wort gab das andere,
und dann brach etwas in mir entzwei.
Wütend lief ich aus dem Haus,
und gegenüber in der Bar
trank ich viel zu viel, sonst wäre nie geschehn,
was in dieser Nacht geschah.
Ruby, ich hab dir weh getan, Ruby,
und ich sehe ein,
es fällt dir schwer, mir zu verzeihn.
Ruby, was auch geschehn ist, ooh Ruby,
versuch mich zu verstehn,
sag nicht, ich soll nun gehn.
Mitternacht war längst vorbei,
da kam sie zu mir, diese andere Frau.
Sie suchte nur ein Abenteuer,
das spürte ich ganz genau.
Sie lachte viel und trank mit mir,
sie machte es mir so leicht.
Was dann kam, das durfte niemals sein,
glaube mir, es tut mir leid.
Ruby, ich hab dir weh getan, Ruby,
und ich sehe ein,
es fällt dir schwer, mir zu verzeihn.
Ruby, was auch geschehn ist, ooh Ruby,
versuch mich zu verstehn,
sag nicht, ich soll nun gehn.
Ruby, ich hab dir weh getan, Ruby,
und ich sehe ein,
es fällt dir schwer mit zu verzeihn,
ooh, Ruby, was mir zu sagen bleibt, Ruby,
was wirklich zählt für mich,
Ruby, oh baby don't you know
Girl you're silence hurts me so
Are you listening
Ruby, oh baby can't you see
It's the source of misery
Oh are you listening
Troubles they seem to follow me
As far as i can see it must be my destiny
Troubles they carry you around
From the crib into the ground
They will never set you down
Ruby oh baby can't you see
I'm so sad it's killing me
Are you listening
Ruby if you like to think outloud it might really help me out
Are you listening
Troubles they seem to follow me
As far as i can see it must be my destiny
Troubles they carry you around
From the crib into the ground
They will never set you down
Babababa..
(Are you listening girl x2)
Troubles they seem to follow me
As far as i can see it must be my destiny
Troubles they carry you around
From the crib into the ground
They will never set you down
Are you listening girl
Babababa...
Caught your erratic eye Looking at a ruby twice my size I was a corundum once But now I'm mineral-less In your eyes
Or is it you? Or is it you? Or is it you? Or is it you?
That has lost your shimmer
Or is it you? Or is it you?
That has lost your shimmer
Caught your deviant heart Bring in another heaven I was just a clot A thick syrup of evidence
I have no shimmer Dull, mineral-less I have no shimmer Dull, mineral-less I have no shimmer Dull, mineral-less I have no shimmer Dull, mineral-less
Ruby

ruby - (ruby ruby)
(ruby) ruby, (ruby ruby)
Fit to burst, I'm in love
No, no, no, you silly girl
Fist, a brick in my hand
A hole, hole, hole, you silly man
I didn't mean to make this mess
This paper muscle in my chest
And stolen thirst won't be my end
But then I was here first
Hand, hole, heart, girl, bleeding
I didn't mean that last word
No, no, no, you silly man
I can't help myself
I try, try, try and then I
Crack it, split to see inside
I run because I can't abide
This tiny meat in my hand
And the pound, pound, pound of your bleeding heart
Hand, hole, heart, girl, bleeding heart
Hand, hole, heart, girl, bleeding
I crack it split to see inside
I run because I can't abide
This tiny meat in my hand
And the pound, pound, pound of your bleeding heart
Hand, hole, heart, girl, bleeding
Hand, hole, heart, girl
Couldn't find the right word
To say, say, say, you silly girl
I drink a hole in my head
It makes me think I have it all
I didn't mean to make this mess
This paper muscle in my chest
This pound of flesh will be my end
But then it was mine first
Couldn't find the right words
Couldn't find the right words
Run, run, run
Run, run, run
Hole, heart, girl, hand, hand bleeding
Sweet is the mind that carries me.
Under its breath lies tragedy
And when the fruit of passion lingers
On choicely scented fingers
On wings of doubt fly jealousy
And fruit of love
Sweet is that time that waits for me
From evil grows insanity
Morbid as splendour faked
This diamond for my wake
Is why I wait here patiently
And fruit of love
The fruit of love
The food of love
The fruit of love
The food of love
Loooooove, loooooove, loooooove
The fruit of love
The food of love
The fruit of love
The food of love
Swift are these wings that carry me
Under their breath fly jealousy
On wings of doubt they'll carry me
They'll carry me, they'll carry me
The fruit of love
The food of love
The fruit of love
{Martine is at the piano, a cigarette hanging from her lips}
The more I see, the more I do
The more I spit, the more I chew
The more you suck, the more I have to
Swallow, baby
And when I see the things you do
The more I want the least of you
The more I spit, the more you have to
Swallow, baby
You think you gotta push it
You think you gotta push it
You think you gotta push to make me
Swallow, baby
You think you gotta push it
You think you gotta push it
You think you gotta push to make me
Swallow, baby
And so you think that I'm a freak
Because I refuse to sneak
Around the back of your dull head is
Hollow, baby
And maybe you can see me lie
Out of your one good eye
Around the back of your dull head so
Hollow, baby
Hang bone, hang bone
I don't need yours, 'cos I got one of my own
Hang bone, hang bone
I don't need yours, 'cos I got one of my own
And now I see the things you do
It makes me want the least of you
How does it suck for you to have to
Swallow, baby
So maybe you can see me lie
Out of your one good eye
Around the back of your dull head so
Hollow, baby
Swallow, baby
Swallow, baby
Swallow, baby
Swallow, baby
You think you gotta push it
You think you gotta push it
You think you gotta push to make me
Swallow, baby
You think you gotta push it
You think you gotta push it
You think you gotta push to make me
Swallow, baby
Hang bone, hang bone
I don't need yours, 'cos I got one of my own
Hang bone, hang bone
All I can see is what I've fried
And all the world in your black eye
I'll run in circles all the time
I'll gather up all that is mine
Into the room inside my head
The walls are black, the roof is red
And fiery like a volcano, I wear it like a massive halo
This pretty speckled length of twine
That's wrapped around your neck is mine
A ruby rose, stiffed and froze is what I give to you
I'll run in circles all the time
I'll gather up all that is mine
Into the room inside my head
The walls are black, the roof is red
If I could taste your salty head
And pick your the dead hair from my eyes
An' let you smell the sweet despise
Those peaks and trusts guts for a valley
Are a dead scene in my back alley
How tall and wide you have to get?
How big and dark and badly lit?
And if I said I did, would you believe me
And I showed you gold
Would you see through me
And if tomorrow didn't come
Oh would you?
I'll run in circles all the time
I'll gather up all that is mine
Into the room inside my head
The walls are black, the roof is red
I'll run in circles all the time
I'll gather up all that is mine
Into the room inside my head
The walls are black, the roof is red
I'll run in circles all the time
I'll gather up all that is mine
I will clean and cover my windows
'Cos I don't want to see where the wind blows
I'll love it, I'll covet another one's idol
Because I am the queen of denial
I'll love it, I'll love it
I'll love it, I'll love it
The ego is the master of psyche
And envy tastes sweeter than grey meat
I'll love it and learn to follow behind all
Because I am the king of denial
I'll love it, I'll love it
I'll love it, I'll love it
The back will snap from burdens of envy
And I'll forget the mould who set me
I'll love it, and shove it from proof to trial
Because I carry the weight of denial
I'll love it, I'll love it
I'll love it, I'll love it
Everybody loves to want to
Everybody wants to need to
Everybody needs to be
To be somebody else
Everybody loves to want to
Everybody wants to need to
Everybody needs to be
To be somebody else
Everybody loves to want to
Everybody wants to need to
Everybody needs to be
To be somebody else
Everybody loves to want to
Everybody wants to need to
Everybody needs to be
Who needs a ring, you're gonna swing for
Doing a nasty little thing for this daughter's
A dish you're gonna sing for
Sing for me, sing for me, sing for me
They say you have to learn to love once
Before the light is gonna come
And so, I know it's never gonna come for me
Come for me, come for me
The mind connection will be made
And you might think you're getting paid
But you're still on the lilypad, baby
And you might think this deal is done
But silk is worm until it's spun
You're still on the lilypad, yeah
Who needs a dog ya gotta dig for
Beg, or kiss around the dirt for
Show me ninety ways to get more
More for me
Sing for me, sing for me
The mind connection will be made
And you might think you're getting paid
But you're still on the lilypad, baby
And you might think this deal is done
But silk is worm until it's spun
You're still on the lilypad, yeah
The mind connection will be made
And you might think you're getting paid
But you're still on the lilypad, baby
And you might think this deal is done
But silk is worm until it's spun
You're still on the lilypad, yeah
You're still on the lilypad, yeah
You're still on the lilypad, yeah
You're still on the lilypad, yeah
The big dirty sky's gonna fall in on me
It's heavy from the ashes of my lamplight
And if it rains inside, does it wash it all clean
Away from the burden of sight
If I bear my fruit
And invite the world to see
If I bear my fruit
Would you tear it from my tree
I'm still running around in here
I'm still waiting to see
I'm still running around in here
I'm still looking for me
Now this big dirty cloud is gonna rain down on me
It's heavy from the red eye of sight
But I'm still running round inside me
Though I built a little castle for my lamplight
If I bear my fruit
And invite the world to see
If I bear my fruit
Would you tear it from my tree
I'm still running around in here
I'm still waiting to see
And I'm still running around in here
I'm still looking for me
Now my big, hollow sun is burnin' out of control
And love is rainin' down on my lamplight
If want is luxury and need is revenge
The need was burnin' holes in me last night
If I bear my fruit
And invite the world to see
If I bear my fruit
Would you tear it from my tree
I'm still running around in here
I'm still running around in here
I'm still running around in here
You'd put me in the ground
Your crime is always against me
Do you feel what I could be?
I'm bigger than you'll ever be
You'd put me in the ground
(Can't throw me away)
You'd put me in the ground
(Can't throw me away)
You'd put me in the ground
I am what I must
Would you bite me till I'm dust?
You're terrified
Oh, you're terrified of me
(Question)
Why would you kill me? Even I, even I
(Answer)
'Cause I'd cut down your King tree
(Question)
Why do I frighten you? Why do I frighten you ?
'Cause I'd cut down your King tree
You'd put me in the ground
(Can't throw me away)
You'd put me in the ground
(Can't throw me away)
You'd put me in the ground
I can speak so softly because I have so much power
(Question)
I can speak so softly because I have so much power
(Question)
I can speak so softly
(Answer)
Because I have so much power
Why can't I feel the things that I'm supposed to?
Why can't I steal?
Why can't I see what I have to do?
To make it real
I laugh when you die
I cry when it feels good
And I scream because I want to
Somethin' tells me I've been here before
Somethin' tells me I've been here before
Somethin' tells me I've been here
Somethin' tells me I've been here
Somethin' tells me I've been here before
There's two things missing from my life
Love and money
If I could steal them maybe I'd be
Happy
Gimme bread I'll want no more
Gimme cake an' I'll want cream
And if I scream it's 'cause I want to
Somethin' tells me I've been here before
Somethin' tells me I've been here before
Somethin' tells me I've been here
Somethin' tells me I've been here
Somethin' tells me I've been here before
If I could write my name in the snow
Winter to spring
Would it mean that I know
Anything?
With my hand on your head does it mean that I approve or do I scream?
Gimme bread I'll want no more
Gimme cake an' I'll want cream
And if I scream it's 'cause I want to
Somethin' tells me I've been here before
Somethin' tells me I've been here before
Somethin' tells me I've been here before
Somethin' tells me I've been here before
Somethin' tells me I've been here before
I feel like burnin' this town
And this feel is bringin' me down
And I feel like breakin' this town
And This fear is burnin' me now
How can you live with this shit goin' on?
And I feel like burnin' this town
My fear is walkin' around
How can you live?
How can you live?
How can you live?
Now, now
To be there is all I could do
Is that so wrong?
Just one care is all I could find
Now it's gone
And I'd open my heart just to see
What's inside?
A mountain of raw that's too
Big to hide
How can you live?
How can you live?
How can you live?
Now, now
When I say I love you, I know that I lie
But it feels so good to scream it out loud
And at least I try
This fear, this fear is burnin' me now
This fear, this fear is bringin' me down
And this fear, this fear is breakin' me down
This fear, this fear is bringin' me down
My fear is walkin' around
How can you live?
How can you live?
How can you live?
Now, now
To be there is all I could do
Is that so wrong?
Just one care is all I could find
Now it's gone
I'd open my heart just to see what's inside
A mountain of raw that's too
You think I'm blind, I can see for miles
You think I'm happy 'cause I smile
But beneath flies a bird with a neck for a noose and bricks for cargo
You think I'm blind, I can see for miles
You think I'm gonna fake this smile
But I'll turn it loose on stones and air with its guts for cargo
And its pockets full, and its pockets full
There's a whole full of old blind men pointing in one direction
With their pockets full
So blind, they're tripping over their own deception
With their pockets full
You think I'm blind, I can see for miles
You think I'm happy 'cause I smile
But beneath flies a bird with a neck for a noose and bricks for cargo
You think I'm blind, I can see for miles
You think I'm gonna fake this smile
But I'll turn it loose on stones and air with its guts for cargo
And its pockets full
Too, too blind, I wander in the wrong direction
With my pockets full
??? in one direction
With my pockets full
You think I'm blind, but I can see for miles
You think I'm happy - but I can take this smile
And turn it loose to live on stones and air for its own protection
With its pockets full
You think I'm blind
You think I'm blind

Baby comes one time and in his touch
I feel a grace that only he can bring
And with his kiss, I feel a grace
That only he can bring, only he can bring
Baby comes two times and with his touch
I feel warmth and peace that wholeness brings
And with his kiss, deliciousness
And peace that wholeness brings
That only he can bring
And it feels like butter, runnin' over me
Butter, and I'm won over, yeah
Butter, runnin' over me
Butter, butter, that only he can bring
Baby comes three times and with his touch
The electrifying spark is he and me
And with his kiss, a quiet bliss
That only he can bring, only he can bring
And if I taste his grace, his gift
That he gives only to me
Then I can taste desire, delicious fire
That only he can bring, only he can bring
And it tastes like
Butter, runnin' over me
Butter, and I'm won over, yeah
Butter, runnin' over me
Butter, butter, that only he can bring
In the quiet, warm, and fragrant dark
The electrifying spark is he and me
Fool, what is your name?
Should I hang my head in shame?
When you say your name is mine
When you say your name is mine
I could fill your shoes
If my mouth of useless words won't do
Would you say those words were mine?
Would you say those words were mine?
Would you say those words were mine?
Would you say those words were mine?
Leech in my belly suck on me Daddy, oh
Would you say those words were mine?
Oh, the mess you've made
If one word equaled one hatchet blade
Would you say that blade was mine?
Would you say that blade was mine?
Would you say that blade was mine?
Would you say that blade was mine?
Leech in my belly suck on me Daddy, oh
Fool, how up is high
If a mountain dropped me out of the sky?
Would you say it's mess was mine?
Would you say it's mess was mine?
Would you say it's mess was mine?
Would you say it's mess was mine?
Would you say it's mess was mine?
Would you say it's mess was mine?
Would you say it's mess was mine?
Would you say it's mess was mine?
Stinge lumina, arata-mi calea,
Pune mana pe mine, simte chemarea
Inimii mele, inimii mele
Stiu ca iti face placere (X2)
Cand te misti pe dance floor
Nu mai am control
Mintea mea e razna,
Na na na, na na na
Esti brigada salsa
Si nebun ca basta
Mintea mea e razna (X2)
Eo, eo, e un superman
Charisma big, fantastic criminal
E un heartbreaker
(?-?)
Stinge lumina, arata-mi calea,
Pune mana pe mine, simte chemarea
Inimii mele, inimii mele
Stiu ca iti face placere (X2)
Mister lover, mister rude boy
Pune mana pe mine aprinde focul dintre noi
Mister lover, mister rude boy
Boy, boy, boy, boy, boy
Cand te vad ma blochez,
Ma hipnotizezi nu pot sa ma controlez
Ca esti hot, hot
Cand te vad ma blochez,
Ma hipnotizezi nu pot sa ma controlez
Ce barbat
Eo, eo, e un superman
Charisma big, fantastic criminal
E un heartbreaker
(?-?)
Stinge lumina, arata-mi calea,
Pune mana pe mine, simte chemarea
Inimii mele, inimii mele
Stiu ca iti face placere
Stinge lumina, stinge lumina (X4)
Stinge lumina, arata-mi calea,
Pune mana pe mine, simte chemarea
Inimii mele, inimii mele
I, I picked this pine, stuck in my side
I've made my head and there
I'll hide my mouth a grin
My muscle taut, my mind is clear
Devoid of thought
My, my mouth is red
The lies are real
And perfect as the love I steal
You picked this pine stuck in you arm
And then you just ran out of charm
I, I picked this pine, stuck in my side
I've made my head and there
I'll hide my mouth a grin
My muscle taut, my mind is clear
Devoid of thought
Now all the time I hear you say
I wasn't meant to be this way
My noose is tied, the slack is cut
I picked my pine, my stink is mine
I wasn't meant to be this way
My stink is mine
I wasn't meant to be this way
Old man's ass fifty heads wide
Old man's ass could stretch a battle ship
Side to side to side to side to side to side to side to side
Are we all wrapped up, wrapped up together?
Are we all wrapped up, fit for the kill?
Are we all wrapped up, stacked up together?
Stretch my neck to look up to him
Are we all wrapped up, wrapped up together?
Are we all wrapped up, fit for the kill?
Are we all wrapped up, stacked up together
Fit for the kill?
There's a flower thief in my back yard again
I'll grin my teeth to make him stay
Trap him in my flower bed and then
I'll feed him with my paraffin
Feed him with my paraffin
Feed him with my paraffin
Stretch my neck to look up to him
Are we all wrapped up, wrapped up together?
Are we all wrapped up, fit for the kill?
Are we all wrapped up, stacked up together?
Stretch my neck to look up to him
Are we all wrapped up, wrapped up together?
Are we all wrapped up, fit for the kill?
Are we all wrapped up, stacked up together?
Stretch my neck to look up to him
Old man got me in the eye again
Stretch my neck to look up to him
Got his bony finger in
Stretch my neck to look up to him
Turned me round and did it all again
Stretch my neck to look up to him
Now I smell like paraffin
Now I smell like paraffin
Now I smell like paraffin
You've never seen what I could do
Like run a mile and jump hoops too
And ruin everything for you
Could make me smile if you want to
Duckin' and divin', skippin' and skivin'
Between the shit and the shovel
The ass lick and the grovel and God
Oh what a Lord, makes me thankful for being bored
And everything I try and I do
To make me happy but you could
Make me jump and spin loops too
And crack a smile in front of you
Duckin' and divin', skippin' and skivin'
Shit and the shovel
The ass lick and the grovel and God
Oh what a Lord, makes me thankful for being bored
You know I hate it when you cry
It makes me wanna burn your eyes
Out with a poker every time
And chase my tail to make you smile
Duckin' and divin', skippin' and skivin'
Shit and the shovel
The ass lick and the grovel and God
Oh what a Lord, makes me thankful for being bored
Duckin' and divin', skippin' and skivin'
Shit and the shovel
The ass lick and the grovel and God
Supposition worse than flu
Over my head
Hangs a weighted lung for two
Wings aloud and bound for nowhere else
But back where they belong
A third eye may be too strong
For when you're going
If you think you know the rules
Think again
If you think you know the rules
Think again
Because lightning won't strike twice
And I might not be enough
To blow the fuse again
Perfect lesion is the crime on my mind
Hangs a weighted heart of mine
If I pulled these two apart to see
Just where I went wrong
A clear eye could see no wrong
In where I'm going
If you think you know the rules
Think again
If you think you know the rules
Think again
Because lightning won't strike twice
And I might not be enough
To blow the fuse again
If you expect me to deliver
I will simply steal the horse
If you expect me to deliver
If you think you know the rules
Think again
If you think you know the rules
Think again
Because lightning won't strike twice
And I might not be enough
To blow the fuse again
And I might not be enough
To blow the fuse again
To blow the fuse again
To blow the fuse again
To blow the fuse again
Start at my toes
This is where the evil grows
My legs are sharp, might split your skin
And spill the juice that feeds your grin
Take to walkin' up my spine
See my love drip down like split wine
And then I'll take your jewels in my bag
And take 'em home to Mama
I'll put your jewels in my bag
And take 'em home to Mama
Take the slaughter to the lamb
Take the hung to the ham and back
Take the neck to the crack and pow
How does it feel? Whatever you get you steal
I'm bored, rooted to the floor
And what I want you just can't buy anymore
So I'll collect your jewels in my bag
And take 'em home to Mama
I'll put your jewels in my bag
And take 'em home to Mama
I want some push to my shove
But your hand is in my glove and I'm mad, bad, ripped raw and bleeding
Swinging like a beef hook on the hips of hell
And the stains on my boots say my life is goin' well
To snap your skinny neck in two
Would be the least that I could do
So I'll collect your jewels in my bag
And take 'em home to Mama
I'll put your jewels in my bag
And take 'em home to Mama
Stop at my bones
For here my evil made its home
This is where the evil grows, eve
This is where the evil grows
This is where the evil grows, aae eve
This is where the evil grows
This is where the evil grows, eve
This is where the evil grows, eve
This is where the evil grows, eve
Transparent wings flash
Saltwaters lash
From eyes in a brainstorm
Go blow yer own
Horn of plenty
But please come gently
To the waterside
To dip yer toe and sink your
Sink your skinny hide
And on these eyes
A penny lies to pay my way through the storm
And guide me to the light of home
Where I sleep alone.
And on these eyes
A penny lies to pay my way through the storm
And guide me to the light of home
Where I sleep alone
On the waterside
Where I sleep alone
On the waterside
Where I sleep alone
And on the bank where my heart sank
In clay wet from a rainstorm
I dug my own hope and I sleep
Please come quietly
To the waterside
To dig yer hole and sink your
Sink your skinny hide
On the waterside
On the waterside
And on these eyes
A penny lies to pay my way through the storm
And guide me to the light of home
Where I sleep alone.
And on these eyes
A penny lies to pay my way through the storm
And guide me to the light of home
Where I sleep alone
Sink your skinny hide
Where I sleep alone
Sink your skinny hide
Sink your skinny hide
Where I sleep alone
Sink your skinny hide
On the waterside
Where I sleep alone
On the waterside
On the waterside
Where I sleep alone
On the waterside
Where I sleep alone
On the waterside
Ooh, I've been diggin' round in my own dirt again
And I don't smell the roses
And the train is speeding, boiler stoked
And I won't be home for a while
And I won't be home for a while
And I won't be home for a while
Grin - I won't be home for a while
Grin, grin, grin - I won't be home for a while
Ooh, if I were to love another of my kind
Would you mind?
If I did now, would you mind
Now these words are burning holes in my face
These are dangerous days for the calm mind
And the train is speeding, boiler stokes
And I won't be home for a while
And I won't be home for a while
And I won't be home for a while
Grin, grin, grin - I won't be home for a while
Grin, grin, grin - I won't be home for a while
From ear to ear
Toes to chin
North to South
And back again
From ear to ear
Toes to chin
North to South
And back again
Running from the savagely unkind
Grin, grin, grin - I won't be home for a while
As I fly through the eye unaware
That the man at the helm is more scared
Of losing his money than his mind or his hold on the sky
And the wings on his rings that he wears
Bend and bow to the man splitting hairs
Between the weight of his pennies and the birds in the sky
And what makes them fly
And the stone inside the seed is what feeds the rose
And the bud that grows from weed
Is more knowing than those
Who purge the fishless sea
From their sinking boat
'Cause the skin is all they see
For a glimpse of gold
The world begs to meet you
The world knows it needs you
I should have seen this coming
This piece of me that's humming
Colors of my house are red
And wound and sweat and hollow
This is such an opportunity for me
This is such an opportunity for me
This is such an opportunity for me
This is such an opportunity for me
And the world wants to feed you
It's on your side
I'd jump just to please you
And that is why
I should have seen this coming
This piece of me that's humming
Colors of my house are grip
And grin and sweat and wallow
This is such an opportunity for me
This is such an opportunity for me
This is such an opportunity for me
This is such an opportunity for me
And a man wants to meet you
He's on your side
He knows how to feed you
And so he tries
A cold slap to the head
From the one who wants to steal my bread
And the box inside me hums
For the one who wants to feed my love
And the box is humming soft and low
So definite the echo
Now it feels so low
Now it feels so low
Now you feel so low
Now you feel so low
This is such an opportunity for me
This is such an opportunity for me
This is such an opportunity for me
This is such an opportunity for me
This is such an opportunity for me
This is such an opportunity for me
This is such an opportunity for me
Verse 1
Ruby's smiling not because she's happy, but cause she's planning her escape,
Ruby's smiling to make sure you feel comfortable inside your smiling world
behind your smiling tape
Chorus
Ruby take us to the Promised Land,
Ruby you are Moses with a different band
Speak the truth girl so the slaves will understand
We'll find our real smiles hidden in the desert sand.
Verse 2
No one suspects her no one can see a difference,
because she smiles the way you taught her, candy-coated.
She can play you better than you ever could play her but its boring she's kind
of bloated;
and sometimes she finds she will play herself now that is dangerous that is
lying.
That is lying.
So she is leaving she is taking everything, she's not coming back, no she's not
coming back.
Verse 3
We've seen this smile before on Lillith's as she slammed the door.
Left Adam standing in the Garden of Eden he had a hard-on
and was ready for breeding, she didn't want but he couldn't hear.
I think you're exaggerating lonesomely
They'll all around when you're wandering off
You're like a tear out of your skin
Stop making wills just to break your fall
What you get
You get caught up in all the maybe
You're getting caught up in all the maybe
Think you should limit a vision
Of all the coming and going
But it takes one like me to know
That repeating never got you where you needed to go
Ruby don't go
Waiting on your wishing
If you said so
They wouldn't ever listen
Cause they're clinging to methods that disappear in [?]
Taking all their words as a counter attack
After nostalgia has left the sour taste in tact
Now you'll be sinking right back to the bottom
Ruby don't go
If they're all sunset misters
Dogmats are nothing at all
You're only dreaming of sleeping
You're only waiting on the room to clear
And you get caught up in all the maybe
You're getting caught up in all the maybes
Think you should limit a vision
Of all the coming and going
But it takes one like me to know
That repeating never got you where you needed to go
Ruby don't go
And you'll be sinking right back to the bottom
Du hast mir gesagt
du machst dich schön
denn du willst mich heut seh'n.
Ruby
nein
ich will es nicht
kannst du mich nicht versteh'n?
So unbeschwert
wie's früher war
so wird es wohl nie mehr.
Oh Ruby
mach's mir doch nicht so schwer.
Wir fuhren los im Morgengrau'n
wir wollten in die Stadt.
Du sagtest noch mal soll nicht fahr'n
wenn man getrunken hat.
Ich fuhr im Regen viel zu schnell
da ist es dann gescheh'n.
Oh Ruby
kannst du mich nicht versteh'n?
Sie sagte mir vielleicht
kannst du im Leben nie mehr geh'n.
Es ist bestimmt auch schwer für dich
denn du bist jung und schön.
Doch morgen ist das Leid vielleicht
schon längst Vergangenheit.
Oh Ruby
ich brauch' noch etwas Zeit.
Und wenn du mich verlassen willst
dann schlag die Tür fest zu.
Ich stell's mir vor bei Tag und Nacht
und finde keine Ruh'.
Doch glaube mir
was auch geschieht
ich liebe dich so sehr.
Ruby
mach's mir doch nicht so schwer.
Ruby
mach's mir doch nicht so schwer.
Oh Ruby
mach's mir doch nicht so schwer.
Wenn die andern Mädchen tanzen geh'n
Ruby ist allein
Wenn die andern lachen und sich dreh'n
Ruby bleibt allein.
Mit ihren Haaren spielt der Sonnenschein
Sie ist voll Märchen und Träumerei'n.
Ruby
Ruby
Du bist wunderschön
Doch du hast noch nie ein Licht geseh'n.
Blumen duften süß zur Sommerzeit
Doch in deiner Welt ist Dunkelheit.
Ruby
Ruby
Du bist fast noch ein Kind
Und dein bester Freund
Das ist der Wind
Er erzählt von Liebe
Glück und Leid
Doch in deinem Herzen ist Einsamkeit.
Morgens ist das Gras von Perlen grau
Ruby sieht es nicht.
Wolken fliegen hoch im Himmelsblau
Ruby sieht es nicht.
Und ihre Sehnsucht ist unbestimmt
All ihre Wünsche kennt nur der Wind.
Ruby
Ruby
Du bist wunderschön
Und du wirst das Licht der Liebe seh'n.
Blumen duften süß zur Sommerzeit
Und die Welt ist heut' zum Glück bereit.
Ruby
Ruby
Du bist nicht mehr allein
Traurigkeit verfliegt im Sonnenschein.
Hoffnung heißt die Kraft
Der wir vertrau'n
Und sie hilft auch dir
Dein Leben bau'n.
Einmal sieht auch dich ein Mann
Der dich nie vergessen kann.
Du wirst hören
Wie er spricht:
Kleine Ruby
Ich liebe dich.
Für immer.
Ruby
Ruby
Du bist wunderschön
Ruby
Ruby
Du bist nicht mehr allein
Ruby
Ruby
Du bist nicht mehr allein
Ruby
Ruby
Du bist wunderschön
Ruby, she won't do right
Ruby, she won't do right
Shines like a diamond, dark as the night
My Ruby, she won't do right
And my Ruby, she holds that devil's hand
Ruby, she holds that devil's hand
See him come around; you know I'll cut him down
Ruby, holds that devil's hand
But I'm going to get my Ruby out of jail
One hundred dollars surely go her bail
I been drinking that corn liquor, but you know I love
her still
I'm going to get my Ruby out of jail
Ruby loves that sweet cocaine
Ruby loves that sweet cocaine
Trouble through her mind, poison in her veins
My Ruby loves that sweet cocaine
And my Ruby, she loves another man
Ruby, she loves another man
See that golden ring? It don't mean a thing
Ruby loves another man
But I'm going to get my Ruby out of jail
One hundred dollars surely go her bail
I been drinking that corn liquor, but you know I love
her still
I'm going to get my Ruby out of jail
Ruby, oh please come home
Ruby, oh please come home
Got a baby on my knee and hungry mouths to feed
Ruby, oh please come home
I'm going to get my Ruby out of jail
One hundred dollars surely go her bail
I've been drinking that corn liquor, but you know I
love her still
Ruby, let down your golden hair
When I'm standing at the bottom of your stairs
Ruby, I can see your TV on
But the people there, they flicker and they're gone
So let down your golden hair for me tonight
Let down your golden hair for me to climb
Just like an old time telegraph man I came here with a simple job to do
'Cause that news coming down the wire says that your head's on fire
And I'm trying to get a message through to you
Ruby, you ain't lonely yet
With your crystal and your Russian cigarette
Ruby, haven't you heard before
Working is the finest tower when it hasn't got a door?
So let down your golden hair for me to climb
Let down your golden hair for me tonight
Just like an old time telegraph man I came here with a simple job to do
'Cause that news coming down the wire says that your bed's on fire
And I'm trying to get a message through to you, Ruby
I'm that old time telegraph man and I came here with a simple job to do
'Cause that news coming down the wire says that your world's on fire
And I'm trying to get a message through to you
I'm that old time telegraph man and I came here with a simple job to do
'Cause that news coming down the wire says that your world's on fire
