Ruby in Paradise Lyrics by The Sterns

Say Goodbye to the Camera

0

Speaking of the rules you left behind
The years were kind, as kind as they could be
Alcoholic, bitter and bemused
Still, I can't excuse your sly indecency

Take a look around, Lynn
What's the use in keeping thin
When there's no one to impress or call?
Take another look, then
Where's the joy in living
When you know you can't escape the fall?

We're raised on the promises of fortunes delayed
Why slave your whole life when it's so easy to take?
Tell Ruby in Paradise it's all a mistake
We're raised on the promises of fortunes delayed
Why slave your whole life when it's so easy to take?
Tell Ruby in Paradise I've made a mistake

Captive to the bleak New English cold
It makes you older than your list of crimes
Forty-five and you have yet to find
Yourself or anybody worth your time

Take a look around, Lynn
What's the use in keeping thin
When there's no one to impress or call?
Take another look, then
Where's the joy in living
When you know you can't escape the fall?

We're raised on the promises of fortunes delayed
Why slave your whole life when it's so easy to take?
Tell Ruby in Paradise it's all a mistake
The sun seems a little bit brighter today
I'm not sure if something good is headed my way
Tell Ruby in Paradise I'm coming to stay
