sublime - scarlet begnonias (live at tressel tavern, 1994) lyrics

[chorus 1]
as i was walking down rubadub square
not a chill to the weather but a nip to the air
from another direction she was caught in my eye
it could be an illusion, but i might as well try
might as well try

[chorus 2]
she had rings on her fingers and bells on her shoes
and i knew without asking she was into the blues
she wore scarlet begonias tucked into her curls
i knew right away, she was not like other girls
(like other girls)

[bridge]
well, i ain’t never been right, as i ain’t never been wrong
it seldom works out the way it does in this song
(hey)
’cause once in a while you get shown in the light
in the strangest of places if you look at it right

[rap verse]
it was the summer of love, and i thank the stars above
because the woman took the lovin’ over me
and just to gain her trust, i bought a microbus
because i sold up all my personal property
a tight tie+dyed dress, she was a psychedelic mess
we toured to the north, south, east and west
we sold some mushroom tea
we sold some ecstasy
we sold nitrous, opium, acid, heroin and pcp
and now i hear the police coming after me
yes, now i hear the police coming after me
the one scarlet, with the flowers in her hair
she’s got the police coming after me
[chorus 3]
well, there ain’t nothing wrong with the way she moves
all scarlet begonias and a touch of the blues
and there ain’t nothin’ wrong with the love that’s in her eye
i had to learn the hard way just to let her pass by
let her pass by
oh, just to let her pass by
