Two Rubies Lyrics

Ruby one sticks out her tongue

At the frozen border

Ruby two with eyes of blue

Spits out her gum in uncharted water

Ruby one blocks out the sun

In the cold grey winter school yard

Ruby two takes off her shoe

And throws it at the crossing guard

There's a woman who works at the factory

Where they make all the maps of the world that we know

She tells the identical tale of two rubies

Lost to the spin of a Maryland Globe

Ruby one says it's no fun

Cuts off her hair and clogs up the shower

Ruby Two says "I know you"

I've been tracing your picture for hours

Ruby one fills up her lungs

With fresh air and laundry perfume

Ruby Two takes builders glue

And seals herself inside her bedroom

There's a woman who works at the factory

Where they make all the maps of the world that we know

She tells the identical tale of two rubies

Lost to the spin of a Maryland Globe

Lost to the spin of a Maryland Globe

Lost to the spin of a Maryland Globe

Lost to the spin of a Maryland Globe
