Your voice was frightened and kind of dreamy   You said you simply had to see me   And there you were with your martini   Your diamonds were large and your dress was teeny      Dodging assassins two by two   They want your ruby slippers and your little dog, too      Your words had me shaken   Your dress had me stirred   I guess I didn't answer   'cause you asked if I had heard   In your face I watched the lines   The growing lines of anguish   In the air I watched the smoke   From your cigarette languish   There in your face I saw the light   Like you, a fugitive of the night   I took a shot and said that I might   Help you to dodge your assassins      Dodging assassins two by two   They want your ruby slippers and your little dog, too      Like Dorathy I fall...   Little dog and all      There's vampires in the sun   My dear one, they want a piece of you   They want your ruby slippers, baby   And I know they want your little dog, too      Dodging assassins two by two   They want your ruby slippers and your little dog, too...      I don't know why   They want you dead   But now that I've helped you   I think they also want my head   I don't know why they want a piece of you   They want your ruby slippers and your little dog too
