Listen & view Lush - Scarlet lyrics & tabs

(Anderson / Berenyi)

Nothing can eclipse
Tender fingertips,
Youthful girlish hips,
Crimson pouting lips...

But d'you say when nothing's meant?
What d'you do when all is spent?

Faithless, faceless night,
Drenched in empty light...
Scarlet starlet's bright;
Vanity's delight...

But d'you say when nothing's meant?
What d'you do when all is spent?
Cream of life you'll find in her;
First to come, she's first to serve...

Turned away - you're out of luck;
Turned away* - no one to fall in love...

Faithless, faceless night,
Drenched in empty light...
Scarlet starlet's bright;
Vanity's delight...

But d'you say when nothing's meant?
What d'you do when all is spent?
Cream of life you'll find in her;
First to come, she's first to serve...
