Ruby Slippers Songtext
von Simon Joyner

These burning halogen lights cause cancer in laboratory mice
I read that somewhere, you know it could be true
Why don′t you flip the switch so we can start our stupid fight?
In the dark you can picture me any way you want to
Come out from behind your razor blades
Try to be sensitive for a change
There's gotta be more to life than sifting through this garbage
You′re the blip that became the bombshell
I'm the woman that became your chick
But I don't need this
I′ll scissors-paper-rock you for the Kleenex
Nature doesn′t abhor a vacuum just to hear itself suck
And that's why a fool like me
That′s why a fool like me
That's why a chick like me always falls in love
With a jerk like you
You know you could get a tapeworm
Running around barefoot in the grass like that Yeah, well, you could get arrested
For singing all your slanderous lies
Hey, I try to tell the truth just in
Little digestible pieces at a time
You call it the truth, that′s not the truth
That's why you can never open your eyes
Don′t march off half-cocked of love next time
Don't fall down half-blind
You can still pretend you're a genius, but I know I′m a loser
Check out the innocent kids playing four-
Square under the sour streetlight
They′re too young to know Judy Garland died in ruby slippers
But I'll tell you right now, I′m not gonna die in no ruby slippers
"The heart abhors a vacuum," my ma used to say
And that's why a fool like me
That′s why a fool like me
That's why a jerk like me always runs away
