Ruby Lyrics - Kristin Hersh

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 

Till we become beauty, a fluid medium
