Scarlet Begonias
Sublime Song Lyrics




As I was walkin' down rubadub square,
not a chill to the winter but a nip to the air.
From another direction she was callin' my eye.
It could be an illusion but I might as well try,
might as well try.
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.

Well I ain't never been right as I ain't never been wrong
as 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 places if you look at it right.

It was the summer of love
and I thank the stars above
because the woman took a lovin' over me
and just to gain her trust I bought a microbus,
because I sold off all my personal property.
A tight tiedye dress she was a psychadelic mess.
We toured to the north, south, east, and west.
We sold some mushroom tea
we sold some extacy
we sold nitrous, opium, acid, heroin, and PCP.
And now I hear the police comin' after me.
Yes now I hear the police comin' after me.
The one scarlet with the flowers in her hair,
she's got the police comin' after me.

But there ain't nothin' 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 it pass by,
Oh, just let her pass by.
