Talking Scarlet Testo

Carry no bright torches for me...
You hide under the eiderdown all you can❝t sweep underneath the carpet
When you cover your neighbour❝s wife scalding marks appear you❝re talking scarlet
Kid yourself that it❝s platonic love
Best of friends - eyes all smiling - watch them turn to iron filings
I will say late one evening while moonstruck beside her
I❝ll break the bonds of friendship one by one. I❝ll tell her
I❝m more than some friendly fellow, I will say "how ya doin ? "
So casually she never suspects I❝m harbouring thoughts of kissing her neck
I think my mouth❝s been drinking my basest thoughts do the thinking
You❝ve no shame when scarlet is your name trust in flames
When scarlet is your name
Yes he❝s crying in his sleep, yes he❝s thoroughly miserable for me
Losing his looks for me. losing
Certain themes keep recurring, boundaries start a blurring
I will say late one evening while moonstruck beside her
I❝ll break the bonds of friendship one by one. I❝ll tell her
I❝m more than some friendly fellow, I will say "how ya doin ? "
So casually she never suspects I❝m harbouring thoughts of kissing her neck
I think my mouth❝s been drinking my basest thoughts do the thinking
Oh my God someone tell her - I know she❝s a star, celestial feast
In the zoo of my heart she is thrown to the beast, tell her
The mouse here beside her won❝t always be denied her
I❝ve no shame, scarlet is my name, trust in flames
Scarlet is my name
Carry no bright torches for me
