'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 everyone is saying
Ruby dear, oh, don't you hear?
Late at night when the radio is playing
Ruby dear, so looka 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
ย
Hunted me from the bedroom to the kitchen
Ruby dear, I'm still right here
Down in through the flies amongst the chickens
It's too deep, I drowned in my sleep
Angels and prostitutes, they might look the same
And if to Hell we're going, I'll see you there
ย
'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
