Do you think she's swimming in your lies?
Do you think it's all just murky green?
Don't you think that she would realize?
Yeah, do you think that she has never seen?
'Cause when the seaweed sinks
And the sun gets low
When the waves retire
To the darkness below
I know, I know Ruby sees all
Whoa, I know
I know Ruby sees
I can feel the pressure building high
You should see you're headed for a storm
Don't you see it building in the sky?
Don't you think it's time to swim to shore?
'Cause when the seaweed sinks
And the sun gets low
When the waves retire
To the darkness below
I know, I know Ruby sees all
Whoa, I know
I know Ruby sees
Do you think it's all just murky green?
Don't you think that she would realize?
Yeah, do you think that she has never seen?
'Cause when the seaweed sinks
And the sun gets low
When the waves retire
To the darkness below
I know, I know Ruby sees all
Whoa, I know
I know Ruby sees
I can feel the pressure building high
You should see you're headed for a storm
Don't you see it building in the sky?
Don't you think it's time to swim to shore?
'Cause when the seaweed sinks
And the sun gets low
When the waves retire
To the darkness below
I know, I know Ruby sees all
Whoa, I know
I know Ruby sees

Really great song.
You should see you're headed for a storm.
Don't you see it building in the sky?" (Pollution, global warming?)
Anyway, that's how I hear the song.
Ruby is some guy's girlfriend, and the guy is cheating on her and thinks she is oblivious. however, john is telling him 'how can you think that she has no idea? how can you tell yourself this will never end up in a big fight (see second verse)?'
