Ruby's Keeping Busy
She's found a little trick to use
To keep you away
From the symptoms of reality
She'd rather not convey
You ask "what's the matter?"
She won't say
She's keeping busy with the menial things in her life
Pretending she don't think about it, day and night
Taking her sweet time if she might
You might ask
How she gonna make it
Make it through the weather
Never splits a feather, never thinks a-one is better
Ruby's keeping busy
Ever since I met her
She just says she's busy and then no one knows the better
Hasn't got the time to spare, but spare it if you let her
She's lost the ball
Been caught completely off-court
Pages flying off the calendar
Motivation running short
She'd like to sort priorities
If she had any to sort
I feel like Ruby is a pigeon flying
Through the sky
Trying to catch up with a jet plane
She can't ride
Well, by and by
Ol' Ruby is gonna cry
And you still ask
How she gonna make it
Make it through the weather
Never splits a feather, never thinks a-one is better
Rubie's keeping busy
Ever since I met her
She just says she's busy and then no one knows the better
Hasn't got the time to spare, but spare it if you let her
She don't say the real problem is when you're away
She just says she's keeping busy, keeping busy every day"
That's all she tells them
When they ask
Good thing I'm not the only one
Who tries to deny it
Rubie's lost the time
And now nobody can find it
Keeping busy, keeping busy all the time
Keeping busy just to get you out of my mind
Keeping busy, keeping busy all the time
Keeping busy, I'm keeping busy yeah
Keeping busy, keeping busy all the time
Keeping busy just to get you out of my mind
Keeping busy, keeping busy all the time
Keeping busy, I'm keeping busy yeah
I can't help from keeping busy
I'm always so very busy
I can't help from keeping busy
I'm always so very busy
To keep you away
From the symptoms of reality
She'd rather not convey
You ask "what's the matter?"
She won't say
She's keeping busy with the menial things in her life
Pretending she don't think about it, day and night
Taking her sweet time if she might
You might ask
How she gonna make it
Make it through the weather
Never splits a feather, never thinks a-one is better
Ruby's keeping busy
Ever since I met her
She just says she's busy and then no one knows the better
Hasn't got the time to spare, but spare it if you let her

Keeping busy, I'm keeping busy yeah
Keeping busy, keeping busy all the time
Keeping busy just to get you out of my mind
Keeping busy, keeping busy all the time
Keeping busy, I'm keeping busy yeah
I can't help from keeping busy
I'm always so very busy
I can't help from keeping busy
I'm always so very busy
