Salt Water Fish - Ruby

All I can see is what I’ve fried

And all the world in your black eye

I’ll run in circles all the time

I’ll gather up all that is mine

Into the room inside my head

The walls are black, the roof is red

And fiery like a volcano

I wear it like a massive halo

This pretty speckled length of twine

That’s wrapped around your neck is mine

A ruby rose, stiffed and froze is what I give to you

I’ll run in circles all the time

I’ll gather up all that is mine

Into the room inside my head

The walls are black, the roof is red

If I could taste your salty head

And pick the dead hair from your eyes

Let your smell the sweet despise

Those peaks and throughs, guts for a valley

Are a dead sean in my back alley

How tall and wide you have to get

How big and dark and badly lit

And if I said I did, would you believe me

And I showed you gold, would you see through me

And if tomorrow didn’t come

Would you?

I’ll run in circles all the time

I’ll gather up all that is mine

Into the room inside my head

The walls are black, the roof is red

I’ll run in circles all the time

I’ll gather up all that is mine

Into the room inside my head

The walls are black, the roof is red

I’ll run in circles all the time

I’ll gather up all that is mine

Into the room inside my head.
