the mild animals - hawthorne & rose lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
the girl who always brought flowers to town
i loved her red hair and the way she frowned
her hair wore the sunshine just like a crown
and i knew from the start that i’d get her in gown, oh!

[verse 2]
the pair of us meshed like fingers in clay
i was a soldier called by the beret
i told her i’d write each day i’m away
in in the flower field, i asked her to stay

[hook 1]
so i clung to my scarlett like paper and ink
it was no short order out fighting the shrink
ways apart, never struggled to think
of the taste of her lips echoed “back in a wink”

[verse 3]
i was off fighting wars that didn’t exist
little toy soldier ran off to enlist
employing dark rooms and medicinal scripts
and my babe, she got lost in the rain and the midst, oh!

[verse 4]
so came the man with diamonds for eyes
on a gold-plastic pedestal, she was his prize
he promised the world, and he promised the skies
and my beautiful scarlett, she fell for his guise

[hook 2]
and when i returned to the field in the rain
there was nothing to see but a wilted daisychain
running to the ground my battle scars stained
as my scarlett was stolen by sugar and cane

[bridge]
judging by the way he plays his cards
i’d guess that diamonds and clubs stole her heart
in rib cage colosseum, i dropped my guard
he took her arm in a cadillac chariot cart
go!

[hook 3]
take a shot of espresso to start my day
take a shot of whiskey just to numb the pain
too little, too late in rear view of july
there was nothing to change; he ran my scarlett dry
he ran my scarlett dry
he ran my scarlett dry, woo!
