Ruby Cumulous

[Verse 1]
Once my lover, now she's dressed up in gold
Silk and cedar, sleeping out in the cold
Got my badge, got my gun, got my anger

[Chorus]
She didn't wanna sleep alone that night
And I said, "Who would say no? Who would say no?"
I didn't answer when she called that night
Oh, my God, twenty years old, twenty years old
Now, when I close my eyes I see her face
'Cause the love you give is the love you take
And the heart you hold is the one you break
It's my behavior that I abhor
I was her savior and she was my scapegoat

[Verse 2]
Ruby cumulous in an alley alone
Dial the number, but there's nobody home
Got my foil, got my fire, got my sorrow

[Chorus]
She didn't wanna sleep alone that night
And I said, "Who would say no? Who would say no?"
I didn't answer when she called that night
Oh, my God, twenty years old, twenty years old
Now, when I close my eyes I see her face
'Cause the love you give is the love you take
And the heart you hold is the one you break
It's my behavior that I abhor
I was her savior and she was my scapegoat
Like paper angels, strung in a row
Drunk with inertia, they never grow old

[Outro]
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no
