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

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

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

Mimicking tenderness she sees[00:00:30]

In sentimental movies[00:00:35]

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

Cinematic lovers sway[00:00:45]

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

Take her breath away[00:00:56]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Running from the reels[00:02:36]

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

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

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

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

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

Cast iron and frail[00:03:06]

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

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

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

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

Shades of scarlett conquering[00:03:31]

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