Ruby lips and rock and roll
Lucy says she loves you so
But every night you fall asleep afraid
Sing your self a lullaby
Grow your hair down to your thighs
But you know, you’re gonna give yourself away

Tell your mother you are mostly well
Tell your sisters that they can go to hell
Tell your preacher your stubborn angel fell
You got nothing left to lose
there aint no prayer for you

Bobby's got a poet's soul
You've heard him cry he loves you so
But love is such an boring word to say
All those drifting hearts and painted skins
you’ve gotta let the feeling in
no matter how wounded you may be

Tell your mother you are mostly well
Tell your sisters that they can go to hell
Now your preacher says your stubborn angel fell
You’ve got nothing left to lose
there aint no prayer for you

When bobby leaves and Lucy’s gone
close your eyes and feel the dawn
your heart will mend you’ll carry on
your heart will mend you’ll carry on
your heart will mend you’ll carry on

Tell your mother you are mostly well
Tell your sisters that they can go to hell
Now your preacher says your stubborn angel fell
You’ve got nothing left to lose

Tell your mother you are mostly well
Tell your sisters that they can go to hell
Now your preacher says your stubborn angel fell
You’ve got nothing left to lose
there aint no prayer for you
