Lyrics

Ruby, let down your golden hair When I'm standing at the bottom of your stairs Ruby, I can see your TV on But the people there, they flicker and they're gone So let down your golden hair for me tonight Let down your golden hair for me to climb Just like an old time telegraph man I came here with a simple job to do 'Cause that news coming down the wire says that your head's on fire And I'm trying to get a message through to you Ruby, you ain't lonely yet With your crystal and your Russian cigarette Ruby, haven't you heard before Working is the finest tower when it hasn't got a door? So let down your golden hair for me to climb Let down your golden hair for me tonight Just like an old time telegraph man I came here with a simple job to do 'Cause that news coming down the wire says that your bed's on fire And I'm trying to get a message through to you, Ruby I'm that old time telegraph man and I came here with a simple job to do 'Cause that news coming down the wire says that your world's on fire And I'm trying to get a message through to you I'm that old time telegraph man and I came here with a simple job to do 'Cause that news coming down the wire says that your world's on fire And I'm trying to get a message through to you
