lyrics

Ruby Cat scrounging round the gutter for some meat
Don't you wanna bring your lover something sweet
To signal you're home, it's a dirty trick to be like yourself
When you feel so strange and no one stops to offer any help
Ruby Cat with the pretty smile and the worn out face
Don't you wanna give your lover a little taste
I went through your books and read the poems
You wrote in the margins of the notes you took
In history class, can't believe you passed, Ruby Cat

Keep on doing what you're doing
Trying to change can only lead you to ruin
You know what gets your blood moving

Ruby Cat merrowing at the moon, belting out your soul
'Cause it looks just like a big old full fresh bowl of milk
Hung up high, left by a secret admirer, a stranger with desire for you
The answer's no, I could never hide my feelings from Ruby Cat
You are the sun, you're rising on my horizon
The chains of the road are keeping me from telling someone
I think you're beautiful
But if I won you, would I even know what to do
When you feel the same?
I am young and power hungry, Ruby Cat

Keep on doing what you're doing
Trying to change can only lead you to ruin
You know what gets your blood moving

Ruby Cat, everybody knows you're back in style
Don't you wanna love me for a little while
Electric fish bolting through the water toward the night
A slippery wish I used to grip so tight against my heart
Ruby Cat, I will always love you in my dreams
That no one sees and no one can hold against me
Always yours, always yours

So let's keep doing what we're doing
Trying to change will only lead us to ruin
And we each know what gets our blood moving
With a heavy heart and a crooked smile
