SUBLIME - Scarlet Begonias lyrics

rate me

This is a cover of a grateful dead song<br><br>As I was walkin' down rubadub square<br>Not a chill to the wind but a nip to the air<br>From another direction she was caught in my eye<br>It could be an illusion but I might as well try<br>Might as well try<br><br>She had rings on her fingers and bells on her shoes<br>And I knew without asking- she was into the blues<br>She wore scarlet begonias tucked into her curls<br>I knew right away she was not like other girls<br>Like other girls<br><br>Well I ain't never been right as I ain't never been wrong<br>As heaven works out the way it does in this song (hey)<br>'cuz once in awhile you get shown in the light in the strangest of places<br>If you look at it right<br><br>It was the summer of love and I thank the stars above<br>Because the woman took a lovin' over me<br>And just to gain her trust I bought a microbus<br>Because I sold off all my personal property<br><br>A tight tye-dye dress she was a psychadelic mess<br>We toured to the north, south, east, and west<br>We sold some mushroom tea we sold some extacy we sold nitrous, opium,<br>Acid, heroin, and pcp<br><br>And now I hear the police comin' after me<br>Yes now I hear the police comin' after me<br>The one scarlet with the flowers in her hair she's got the police comin'<br>After me<br><br>But there ain't nothin' wrong with the way she moves<br>All scarlet begonias and a touch of the blues<br>And there ain't nothin' wrong with the love that's in her eye<br>I had to learn the hard way just to let her pass by<br>Let it pass by<br>Oh just let her pass by
