Desert Ruby
©2008 Word2Soul Music Publishing (BMI)
1. Shot down quicker than Baby Kryptonite
Miscast scab photographed in flight
Brown sky in the lens of a satellite
Lookin’ for a Desert Ruby (2x)
2. Flavored rations I wouldn’t give to Moses
Favorite stations, cathode is with us
Slammin’ the door in your face
I should’ve left you alone in my place
So you could find the Desert Ruby (2x)
(refrain)
Wrote a letter to Ma and Pa
Tellin’ them things that really aren’t
My pool upon the rooftop
W
ill soon be found in Utah
Why should I throw my Ruby to the surf?
Why should I throw my Ruby?
3. OK, where we live the dome in sensurround
Caffeine and starch piped in from the ground
This glass will crack when I throw that stone around
Cuz I found that Desert Ruby
Yeah I found that Desert Ruby
4. Bold night life perfect for the dread
What else for pedestrians to do
Hitchhikers in shorts headed for the sunset
To see the eye of Desert Ruby (2X)
(refrain)
Wrote a letter to ma and pa
Tellin’ them things that really are
Hang ten across the meridian
Last wave washing the feet of an Indian
Sometimes I feel my Ruby belongs to the lost angel
Tanned in the surf and found by some stranger
Feelin’ quite prestigious, feelin’ might fine
Singing ‘bout my Jesus down at Hollywood and Vine
(after 40 days in the desert)

Dinosaurs are for Punching
by Beyondo
Beyondo is beyond good, launching pop and jazz off into a fun and fascinating imaginarium, as if Miles Davis, Todd Rundgren and Brian Wilson went on a wacky space trip.
