“Ruby” is the suspension in love, when time folds in on itself, when the first instant of meeting cycles through the idiosyncratic friction and camaraderie of years together, which again cycles into infancy and fascination — all contained within a sideways glance.

Ruby Lyrics
Ninety miles an hour through an electric storm
Just another town or two until New Mexico
"Can you feel it? I can feel it, too"
Why does my Coca-Cola taste like gasoline?
I see you fightin' back a grin
You think you're foolin' me
I can't believe it
I can't believe you'd do that to me, Ruby
[Chorus]
"I bet you ten dollars I can guess your name
Suzy Burlingame?
Or Judy Gables? Or is it Maybelle?
I'm sure it's Eleanor
Maybe Sable? I've never met a Sable
I'm sure it's Eleanor"
Why's the porch light on? I thought you'd flipped the brеaker
And who's that moving around inside?
Oh Ruby, I'm too young to die
Would you go in with mе?
I want you by my side
[Chorus]
"I bet you ten dollars I can guess your name
Suzy Burlingame?
Judy Gables? Or is it Maybelle?
Nah, I'm sure it's Eleanor"
