"Red Scarlet" (unreleased)
April-May 1993
lyrics:
Hidden on the side of the pool facin' the sun
Ignoring the fool drinkin' Scotch on the rocks, ignoring everyone
She lowered her book, took off her sunglasses
That's when the fool laughed aloud
4 in his eyes she was so fine
Dark, mysterious and proud
Her name was Scarlett and the scarf was red
There's nowhere 2 hide when it's all in ur mind
There's nowhere 2 hide when it's all in ur mind (Oh)
She smiled and another cube of ice appeared right then in the glass
Like a camera lens, he panned her body
But stopped when he reached the last drop of Scotch
He decided she was in2 no 1 when she coolly went back 2 her book
In the light of the sun her body commanded his every look
(Look at me...)
Her name was Scarlett and the scarf was red
There's nowhere 2 hide when it's all in ur mind
There's nowhere 2 hide when it's all in ur mind (Oh)
The conversation with others seemed worthless
So he dived in the pool 2 find
A place 2 hide from the thought of her
4 right there in the back of his mind was Scarlett
Yeah
In the pool she dived
Time and all creation stood still (Ooh)
Their eyes met 4 a 2nd longer than it took
4 them 2 fall in love against each other's will
Her name was Scarlett and she fell in love
Nowhere 2 hide when it's all in ur mind
The words on the page looked prettier in the afternoon sun
Lost in the fantasy, ignoring all the fools, ignoring everyone
She lowered her book, took off her sunglasses, and said
Her name was Scarlett and the scarf was red
There's nowhere 2 hide when it's all in ur mind
There's nowhere 2 hide (Scarlett) when it's all in ur mind
All in ur mind (Nowhere 2 hide) (Scarlett)
All in ur mind (When it's all in ur mind)
Her name was Scarlett and the scarf was red
Hear what I said?
