"Ruthie's Knocking"

(written by Kristin Hersh)

Ruthie's knocking, oh my god

Who's she talking to?

Not a clue

Now she's shouting, I'll be on the floor

You go get the door

Just had to make sure you knew

That's a jack-o-lantern moon

Don't look in the mirror, or he'll look back at you

Ruthie, take a shower

I smell like a flower

Your cats smell better than you do

Her cats are pretty cool

Where's he now?

He's on the floor

She flips off the window and spits at the door

My advice is twice what he's worth

The moon'll get him first

Mark my words

The medicine chests are backwards

Don't be surprised

If you have flaming eyes tonight

Tonight

Yeah, tonight

Ruthie's eyes are bright

Ruthie's spine is taped with feathers

They're all mine, they grew

So you see them too

Ruthie, yeah, your brain, she's fried

You should see my mind

Dance around (Ruthie's knocking)

Play around

Fool around

Walk around

Run around (Ruthie's knocking)

Jump around

Fool around

Feel around (Ruthie's knocking)
