When I see you
You don’t see me
I’m upstairs on a 263
On my way to 69B
Your dress is blue
And see-through
And you look more than statuesque
On the antique pine free drawer desk
And I don’t know your name
But that don’t mean anything
If I take you home
I can call you Ruby Blue
(Ruby Blue) There’s no room in the hallway Ruby Blue
(Ruby Blue) The bedroom’s out of bounds to you too
(Ruby Blue) Does your blood run cold
Your countenance is frozen and your smile goes on forever
On forever
You never know how much it’s killing me
Every week your girlfriend’s coming onto me
I can’t bear it to see you
Wasted
Doesn’t he know you’re there
Does he care about you the way I do
I don’t think so ’cause I could have saved you
Maybe you’d be broken now
Well I don’t know your name
That don’t mean anything
If I take you home
I can call you Ruby Blue
(Ruby Blue) There’s no room in the hallway Ruby Blue
(Ruby Blue) The bedroom’s out of bounds to you too
(Ruby Blue) Does your blood run cold
Your countenance is frozen and your smile goes on forever
And your smile goes on forever Ruby Blue
There’s no room in the hallway Ruby Blue
The bedroom’s out of bounds to you too
Does your blood run cold
Your countenance is frozen and your smile
What a smile
Ruby Blue
