Desert Of Pop
The Ruby Suns Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I was 25 I heard you’re number one
We weren’t acquainted, the thought about it sounded fun
Flower among the weeds is what you are
Cold passive water in the desert of pop

Almost given up, couldn’t handle the pressure
But I heard your voice sing to me
You go and love me like you’re invincible
You’re hypnotizing me

I’m always falling in love
Love every time that I dream about
Love, I can stand back
And it makes me wanna
Mmm makes me wanna cry cry cry

[Chorus]
Because whenever I’m in love
You know I just want you to say
That there’s nothing more
Than me in your life

Your head and cologne, it was so unreal
Tried to keep my cool, instead I drank too much
Like a birthday boy, getting excited
Then came your shopper that we executed

You’re a single malt, pure god of tequila
Anyone else would think I’m your cheerleader
But it’s all ended now, your rumple-sack is over
A cat chases its tail

I’m always falling in love
Love every time that I dream about
Love, I can stand back
And it makes me wanna
Mmm makes me wanna cry cry cry
I’m always falling in love
Love every time that I dream about
Love, I can stand back
And it makes me wanna
Mmm makes me wanna cry cry cry

[Chorus]

I’m always falling in love love love
Love love love
Love love love
Love love love
Love love love
Love love love
Love love love
Love love love





You tell me I’m in love
As the weeks float by

As the weeks float by
As time passes slowly and calmly.

Holy Aura

The Ruby Suns are the best indie/pop group imo. I fucking love this song. Shades of the early 90's

Chinese Virus

whatever this shit is awesome, it takes a person with a mature taste to like this music, its above the rest. and most bands like this are almost always underrated. too bad people give all the credit to the BS they play on the radio. I got my local radio station to start playing the ruby suns, now they play it ever since. 

Serge Zerkalo

I do totally agree, mate
