Ruby & Pearl (live in the lounge)

from Live at the Lizard Lounge by Jamie Flett and The Flaming Jets

/

lyrics

There's a ruby to the right of me and a pearl off to the left
But the gold that's right in front of me is just as cold as it gets
The sapphires that I once saw have headed for the ocean floor
Davy Jones's ivory will keep them locked behind a door

Treasure in your head it's hope the survivor said

So if I could get my hands on sand or an alchemist's secret stone
You know I'd keep my mouth shut like a fool and feed my secret hope

Treasure in your head it's hope the survivor said

So there's blood spilled to the left of me and whisky to the right
And a trail of burned out tree stumps like the story of my life

Treasure in your head it's hope the survivor said
