Rip van ruben You've been asleep for a hundred seconds Now your whole world's turned round And the house makes an empty sound for Rip van ruben Don't let it freak you out You'll find another girl no doubt And someday soon Maybe man will reach the moon Jump into bed and dream her back where she belongs Dream you're fu manchu and she's a slave to your tongs When all the past evaporates You will find that she has too Rip van ruben You've been asleep for a hundred seconds Now you've woke and she's gone Instant desserts just for one Rip van ruben Album Lyrics: Other Songs - XTC XTC "Other Songs - XTC" 1. 25 O'clock 2.
