Echoes of reggae comin' through my bedroom wall 
havin' a party up next door but i'm sittin here all alone 
two lovers in the bedroom and the other starts to shout 
all i got is this blank stare and that don't carry no clout at all  
 
destination unknown 
ruby ruby ruby ruby soho  
 
he's singin and she's there to lend a hand 
he's seen his name on the marquee but she will never understand 
once again he's leavin' and she's there with a tear in her eye 
embraces with a warm gesture it's time, time to say goodbye  
 
ruby's heart ain't beatin cause she knows the feelin' is gone 
she's not the only one who knew there's somethin' wrong 
little lover's in the distance as she wipes a tear from her eye 
ruby's fading out, she disappears, it's time, time to say goodbye
