Ruby Dear

´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

Think about
what ev´ryone is saying
Ruby dear
Oh don´t you hear

Late at night
when the radio is playing
Ruby dear
So looky here

Oh this record´s broken
It slips a beat
And all those watermelons
Have gone to seed

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

I still like the ocean
Down by the sea
They left that door wide open
It tempted me
Hounding me
from the bedroom to the kitchen

Ruby dear
I´m still right here
Now they throwed
the fox amongst the chickens
It´s too deep
I´ll drown in my sleep!

Angels and prostitutes
They might look the same
And if to Hell we´re going
I´ll see you there

´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
