Babydoll Lyrics by Oxbow

Serenade In Red

1996

I charcoaled my eyes
And sat and waited
Her voice is dry and rustled in my head
In the cafe yesterday, "Wasn't Rico just marvelous?" she had said
She provokes me in the mildest of ways
To the wildest effect
Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby...
The music of her broke and rumbled
As she clambered over broken bric-a-brac
Telling to my face the lies she had told to my unsleeping back
And while I watched her watching me
She lookеd like she wanted what shе found
And then everything that I changed, changed around
Ruby…
Moving my hands over her throat
Like I was playing a fucking piccolo
I let her know just what I knew
And I cried like a fucking baby
As my fingers closed around than thin neck
And it was exactly what she hoped for I bet
Ruby…
And still lying while dying
She looked up at me and smiled
And we had what no one else could
Found each other and found each other good
Oh God, her love was like the Devil’s mark
And I guess it just couldn’t help tearing me apart
Ruby…
