Ruby Dear Lyrics

'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
