Well I'm Ruby from the wrong side of town
And I'm a girl with both feet on the ground
I always thrive, while others just survive
I'm Ruby from the wrong side of town

Well everyone suffered for weeks and for weeks
When the telephone building burnt down
Well there were many lonely days when I just didn't speak
Well over on my side of town
Well over on my side of town
It's just like when the circus is around
You see the clowns, they're nodding out on downs
And the junkies are making death sounds
Well I'm Ruby from the wrong side of town
And I'm a girl with both feet on the ground
I always thrive, while others just survive
I'm Ruby from the wrong side of town
My town is like a drug store 
Get whatever you want and get more
If you give him a nickel for a nick-a-tick-a-tickle bag
They'll even open your door
Well I'm Ruby from the wrong side of town
And I'm a girl with both feet on the ground
I always thrive, while others just survive
I'm Ruby from the wrong side of town

All right I want all you boy and girl junkies
All across the nation 
To learn the new dance sensation
It's called the nod
I want you up out of your seat, on your feet and learn the nod
Here we go

You take your left foot step and you scratch uh
Then your right step, step and you scratch
Dig right in there boys and girls
Then you fall down almost hit the ground
And you jump back and you nod

Uh
Hey Man
Ya Holding
What cha got
What cha got
Uh
I want some of that instant fucking death
That's for me
Oh man
I'll take ten bags 

I had a heck of a dream last night
That everyone living here died
When I walk outside see the oded bodies there
So I sat on my stoop and I cried

Well I'm Ruby from the wrong side of town 
And I'm a girl with both feet on the ground
I always thrive, while others just survive
I'm Ruby from the wrong side of town

Well I'm Ruby from the wrong side of town
And I'm a girl with both feet on the ground
I always thrive, while others just survive
I'm Ruby from the wrong side of town

Well I'm Ruby from the wrong side of town
And I'm a girl with both feet on the ground
I always thrive, while others just survive
I'm Ruby from the wrong side of town
