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

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

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 it's 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

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

We've seen this smile before on Lilith'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"

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.
