Ruby Lyrics - Wolfsheim

you 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 ist going down 

oh ruby, don't take your love to town 

it wasn't me who 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 one 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
