The Backyard Of My Life
It's So Like Scarlet
Here lies the flowers
And the note she wrote
Saying goodbye stranger
Farewell old friend
I told you i would go out in style one day
Living the pleasures of the damned
And its so like scarlet
To leave them wanting more
She was always a little loose
Most of the time
Her expensive clothes
Lay scattered on the bed room floor
Vogue magazine spread out on the table top
A queen diva or maybe i was mistaken
And its so like scarlet
To keep everybody guessing
A golden girl from the silver screen
Born with a certain kind of look in her eyes
My darling dear with impeccable taste
With a glass of white wine
Popping prescription pills
Hiding behind her mask
And its so like scarlet
To make them think twice
Looking like Lady Godiva
Lathered in perfume and pearls
She would never be anyone's maid
She was always more of a mistress
You laugh much louder
When you have learned to cry
And its so like scarlet
To have her name up in lights
