Testo Ruby

Ruby reads the table
The way that she was taught
She knows everything that's coming
And everything that's not

I first seen her down in Long Beach
She was mobbed by movie stars
They fell on their hands and knees And begged to see her scars

A world of worthless numbers
Are almost all that fill my head
But I can still remember
The first thing ruby said"

"For to recognize the feeling
Abandon all the meaning you have known
I will play Suzanne
And you will play her sinking stone"

With Ruby's thumb
The world unspun
And I was overcome
Seaweed filled the city
Children filled the sea
That's the last I saw of Ruby
And Ruby saw of me

Ruby, meet me in the morning
Ruby, open up your door
Ruby, I never knew that I could be
So heart broke before

The words swam out like minnows
On cold currents through her window right to you
But nothing else would matter, as everyone was shattered
By the news

And now that I'm finally seeing
Things are exactly what they seem
Every single night
I have the same damn dream

Ruby comes in shaking
Waking all the neighbors from their sleep
Saying things have gone too far
And your promise has become too hard to keep

As ruby spun
Beneath the midnight sun
I am overcome
