[Intro]

'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

[Verse 1]

Think about what everyone is saying

Ruby dear, oh, don't you hear?

Late at night when the radio is playing

Ruby dear, so looky here

[Chorus]

Oh, this record's broken

It slips a beat

And all those watermelons

Have gone to seed

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

I still like the ocean

Down by the sea

They left that door wide open

It tempted me

[Verse 3]

Hounding me from the bedroom to the kitchen

Ruby dear, I'm still right here

Now they've thrown the fox amongst the chickens

It's too deep, I'll drown in my sleep

[Chorus]

Angels and prostitutes

They might look the same

And if to hell we're going

I'll see you there

[Outro]

'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
