And I burned down
Just a caveman with a gift
You were adrift, a match at sea
With never a hope of burning me
The scarlet match burned loud and bright
A harlot with a kiss for me
You made me see that there is no whore
Worth my time or anything more
The match was struck
Give it up and tell me what the fuck you are
I know that you are scarlet
My darling
Like a wound from my head you ran red
From head to toes you captured me
I won't ever pick the lock and key
Won't ever be free, free, free
Liberty for enemies
The torch to you bastards that stole the match
Cause you - you struck - you ducked
And you fucked me over like a slut
But as far as what you were - I don't know what
Something scarlet
Something strange
The scarlet match set fire to the world
And I watched as you fuckers burned
You taught me one thing - how to curse
How to say you were a harlot with a match
You are...
You are scarlet
You are scarlet
You are scarlet
My darling
You are a martyr
A pagan at the stake
Scarlet on fire
A match to light you now
Scarlet to burn you
To burn me up
You are scarlet - my darling
The scarlet match set fire to a heart
And I still wonder what you are
Cause you are a martyr, my darling
You are scarlet
My darling
