[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
