lyrics
Ruby Pier
Mr. Blue, I never meant to hurt you. I remember standing there in my suit, eight years
today and I didn’t even know you.
And at first, I couldn’t open my mouth to speak but you had enough words for you and me,
you told me our lives ran into one: present, future, history.
Ruby Pier will welcome you with open arms, as her waves climb the shore and you can
see your reflection. She starts to charm you with her charms as you realise her tainted
perfection.
The fading light fades, the final curtain call comes to a close. Lost in her gaze, footprints of
so many people but you’re the one she knows.
Why did you hurt me? I’ve spent all my life with this pain; it’s lucky I could even walk again.
You were there to protect me and all in vain.
My second lesson – after you taught me how to kill and fight – you said I should have
learnt to sacrifice, then maybe I would have lived right.
Ruby Pier will welcome you with open arms, as her waves climb the shore and you can
see your reflection. She starts to charm you with her charms as you realise her tainted
perfection.
You were so beautiful; you were so beautiful, so why did you leave me? You were so
beautiful; you were so beautiful, so why did you leave me? “For the bitter and the sweet”
that’s what you said to me, you left me too soon. You were so beautiful, you were so
beautiful.
Little girl, I shouldn’t be forgiven but you said I’ve done good for you and everything is OK.
Ruby Pier will welcome you with open arms, as her waves climb the shore and you can
see your reflection. She starts to charm you with her charms as you realise her tainted
perfection.
The fading light fades, the final curtain call comes to a close. Lost in her gaze, footprints of
so many people but you’re the one she knows.
Ruby had a great-grandson whose key cut the cable that killed Eddie Maintenance – this
was his story.
He saved Amy or Annie, whatever her name was.
Goodbye Eddie Maintenance, whatever your name was.
Goodbye Eddie Maintenance, whatever your name was.
