ruby it fills the sky
your southern lips on mine
i give in easily and don't ask why
i couldn't sleep that night
i wandered down by the railway track
i ain't never coming back

put your arms around my neck
you're a dirty little insect
make a bed upon the shore
i've seen you're type before
and whatever you're here for
i'm not leaving, i've got no place to go

i said i said i'm not from here
you said that much is clear
you left the door wide open for me
vermillion taking over
i couldn't help but follow you down
you laid me down by the river

put your arms around my neck
you're a dirty little insect
make a bed upon the shore
i've seen your type before
bad to the bone
and we don't know which way the road will turn
but there'll be no stumbling
'cos i got no place to fall
