Sublime — Scarlet Begonias

[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] 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
