《Ruby ’81》歌词

[00:00:00] Ruby '81 - Aesop Rock

[00:00:48] Look go happy holidays

[00:00:50] July 4th 1981

[00:00:52] Candles of a Roman ilk

[00:00:54] Unloaded from a Chevy truck

[00:00:55] Into the home where folks had built

[00:00:57] Patio was charcoals

[00:00:58] And extended fam in folding chairs

[00:01:00] Safely arced around the yard

[00:01:02] To focus on the smoking flares

[00:01:03] Couple cousins uncles aunts

[00:01:04] Mostly grown-ups couple brats

[00:01:06] Baby Ruby's only two

[00:01:08] She's too close to the jumping jacks

[00:01:10] Mommy scoops her to the house

[00:01:11] Buckles up the booster seat

[00:01:13] Rolls her to the storm door

[00:01:14] Let her long for all the lunacy

[00:01:16] Telephone distracting Mom

[00:01:18] Ruby wriggles at her strap

[00:01:19] Fingers push the plexiglass

[00:01:20] She's off into the sour patch

[00:01:22] Past the pyrotechnics

[00:01:24] Undetected and invisible

[00:01:25] Woke the sleeping beagle

[00:01:27] Skipping toward the kidney swimming pool

[00:01:28] Off into the yawning blue

[00:01:30] The splash would mum the rocket ships

[00:01:31] Ruby's lungs were filling

[00:01:33] By the time her kin were cognisant

[00:01:35] Many sprung and sprinted down

[00:01:36] All arrived belated but

[00:01:38] The beast she had earlier stirred

[00:01:40] Had been alert since waking up

[00:01:41] The canine let his gainer fly

[00:01:43] Water top commotion grow

[00:01:44] Howling guests assume

[00:01:45] The cloven hooves had come to do-si-do

[00:01:48] Frenzied and congested deck

[00:01:49] Part to let the elders see

[00:01:51] Soggy beagle gently dragging

[00:01:52] Ruby in his yellow teeth

[00:01:54] Laid the tiny body

[00:01:55] In the sun before her father's feet

[00:01:57] When she choked the liquid through her bluish lips

[00:01:59] He dropped his knee

[00:02:00] Helped the air to reconvene

[00:02:02] Toweled a shaking Ruby off

[00:02:03] EMT confirmed the save

[00:02:05] Everybody said "Good Dog"
