The Ruby Ring Man
Page France
VERSE
D G
in my wet dog sky of blue
I could see you at the gate
in the red eye dawning you
where you always sit and wait
A G D
for the passing of the broken heart parade
I would kiss the devil's cheek
to get this halo off of me
and in my twisted afterlife
you would be my family tree
and we'll both walk around with our tails between our legs
CHORUS
G D G
we can rattle our pans at the game my dear
D G
but the ruby ring man doesn't know we're here
D
I thought he knew my name
A D
strange he wouldn't even look my way
(verse)
someone got their fingerprints on my
happy ending song
Christ and all his ruby rings told me
I should hang it up
because I lie so well I even start to buy it too
I lie so well I even start to buy it too
(chorus)
when the trumpet swings my ears start to bleed
I'm hanging upside down in a famous tree
I saw so many things
oh this color's new and beautiful to me
