Lyrics

Verse 1
Ruby's smiling not because she's happy, but cause she's planning her escape
Ruby's smiling to make sure you feel comfortable inside your smiling world
Behind your smiling tape

Chorus
Ruby take us to the promised land
Ruby you are moses with a different band
Speak the truth girl so the slaves will understand
We'll find our real smiles hidden in the desert sand

Verse 2
No one suspects her no one can see a difference
Because she smiles the way you taught her, candy-coated
She can play you better than you ever could play her but its boring she's kind
Of bloated;
And sometimes she finds she will play herself now that is dangerous that is
Lying
That is lying
So she is leaving she is taking everything, she's not coming back, no she's not
Coming back

Verse 3
We've seen this smile before on lillith's as she slammed the door
Left adam standing in the garden of eden he had a hard-on
And was ready for breeding, she didn't want but he couldn't hear
She said, cook your own meals and have a wank my dear
