ruby red
these days the good guys wear black
and in your head there are no sunsets left
late at night when the, the wind is gone
and nobody moves and the, the truth is tied down
nobody sees what went wrong
the, the word is out
you can open your eyes
and it's been so long
and I've been waiting
for the streets to burn
and everywhere I go
no-one seems to know
which way to turn
lost under the sun
these tired feet they still run
one day they will come to the ocean
to the ocean
ruby red
the time has come
and in your head you know we are not so numb
and late at night when the, the wind is gone
and you can't breathe and the truth is tied down
nobody sees what went wrong
the, the word is out
you can open your eyes
and it's been so long
and I've been waiting
for the streets to burn
and everywhere I go
no-one seems to know
which way to turn
which way to turn
and it's been so long
and I've been waiting
for the streets to burn
and everywhere I go
no-one seems to know
which way to turn
which way to turn
lost under the sun
these tired feet they still run
one day they will come to the ocean
to the ocean
