《Shades of Scarlett Conquering》歌词

[00:00:01] Shades Of Scarlett Conquering - Joni Mitchell

[00:00:20] Out of the fire like catholic saints

[00:00:26] Comes scarlett and her deep complaint

[00:00:30] Mimicking tenderness she sees

[00:00:35] In sentimental movies

[00:00:40] A celluloid rider comes to town

[00:00:45] Cinematic lovers sway

[00:00:50] Plantations and sweeping ballroom gowns

[00:00:56] Take her breath away

[00:01:01] Out in the wind in crinolines

[00:01:06] Chasing the ghosts of gable and flynn

[00:01:11] Through stand-in boys and extra players

[00:01:15] Magnolias hopeful in her auburn hair

[00:01:21] She comes from a school of southern charm

[00:01:26] She likes to have things her way

[00:01:30] Any man in the world holding out his arm

[00:01:36] Would soon be made to pay

[00:01:42] Friends have told her not so proud

[00:01:47] Neighbors trying to sleep and yelling not so loud

[00:01:52] Lovers in anger block of ice

[00:01:56] Harder and harder just to be nice

[00:02:21] Given in the night to dark dreams

[00:02:26] From the dark things she feels

[00:02:30] She covers her eyes in the x-rated scenes

[00:02:36] Running from the reels

[00:02:42] Beauty and madness to be praised

[00:02:46] 'Cause it is not easy to be brave

[00:02:51] To walk around in so much need

[00:02:56] To carry the weight of all that greed

[00:03:01] Dressed in stolen clothes she stands

[00:03:06] Cast iron and frail

[00:03:11] With her impossibly gentle hands

[00:03:16] And her blood-red fingernails

[00:03:22] Out of the fire and still smoldering

[00:03:25] She says a woman must have everything

[00:03:31] Shades of scarlett conquering

[00:03:35] She says a woman must have everything
