Sublime - Scarlet Begonias Lyrics
This is a cover of a grateful dead songAs I was walkin down rubadub squareNot a chill to the wind but a nip to the airFrom another direction she was caught in my eyeIt could be an illusion but I might as well tryMight as well tryShe had rings on her fingers and bells on her shoesAnd I knew without asking- she was into the bluesShe wore scarlet begonias tucked into her curlsI knew right away she was not like other girlsLike other girlsWell I aint never been right as I aint never been wrongAs heaven works out the way it does in this song (hey)cuz once in awhile you get shown in the light in the strangest of placesIf you look at it rightIt was the summer of love and I thank the stars aboveBecause the woman took a lovin over meAnd just to gain her trust I bought a microbusBecause I sold off all my personal propertyA tight tye-dye dress she was a psychadelic messWe toured to the north, south, east, and westWe sold some mushroom tea we sold some extacy we sold nitrous, opium,Acid, heroin, and pcpAnd now I hear the police comin after meYes now I hear the police comin after meThe one scarlet with the flowers in her hair shes got the police cominAfter meBut there aint nothin wrong with the way she movesAll scarlet begonias and a touch of the bluesAnd there aint nothin wrong with the love thats in her eyeI had to learn the hard way just to let her pass byLet it pass byOh just let her pass by
