The Judybats - Scarlett Lyrics

Falling like leaves from porcelain trees
We break
Shattered by the weight of the fall

Love is Scarlett down the stairs
Pushed or fallen, fallen or shoved
Arching in the air, promised or poisoned
But always loved

Despair versus desire, this game
What a loss, what gain? Whose fault?
Where to blame?

Love is Scarlett down the stairs
Pushed or fallen, fallen or shoved
Arching in the air, promised or poisoned
But always loved

Everything you say to me
Strikes me like a warm disease
Damage is a luxury
Dereliction by degrees

Everything you say to me
Strikes me like a warm disease
Damage is a luxury
Dereliction by degrees

What attracts excites us
To the point of distraction
To the edge of dislike

Love is Scarlett down the stairs
Pushed or fallen, fallen or shoved
Arching in the air, promised or poisoned
But always loved

Everything you say to me
Strikes me like a warm disease
Danger is a luxury
Drown me in your darling seas

Saw a horse the other day with one eye
And I thought
How nice to see only one side of it all

Love is Scarlett down the stairs
Pushed or fallen, fallen or shoved
Arching through the air, promised or poisoned
But always loved

Always loved, loved, loved, loved, loved
Always loved, loved, loved, loved, loved
Always loved, loved, loved, loved, loved
