Scarlet

Let me tell you a story

It was down in New Orleans

in the rubble of rubble of the aftermath

About a girl who was haunted

I met her in the afternoon

in the shadow of the obelisk

sitting over by the gutterpunks

crying in a cigarette

Black rivers, mascara

red fur coat singing Abracadabra

I said Hey Girl, can I sit near ya?

Stand back I could never prepare ya

She turned to walk away

I said Come back Scarlet

and I will sing for you

Open up your darkness

my voice will guide you through

Come back,Scarlet

you know the truth

the whole world is heartless

but I will cry with you

I will cry with you

We got married on Halloween

a vampire in a wedding dress

prettiest devil I've ever seen

took my soul with a killer kiss

She said New chaos, old sadness

Oh my my I'm becoming the madness

I'm afraid I can't have this

I can't tell but I did you the damage

She turned to run away

I said

Come back Scarlet

and I will sing for you

Open up your darkness

my voice will guide you through

Come back Scarlet

you know the truth

But if you've lost the sweetness

boy am I the guy for you

Am I the guy for you?

She said Oh no it's too late

I can't tell but I did you the damage

She said Oh no it's too late

I can't tell but I did you the damage

All I want is to make her stay

Come back Scarlet

We'll dance beneath the moon

because you know where my heart is

And I would die for you

Come back Scarlet

You know the truth

The whole world is heartless

My voice will guide you through
