Carry no bright torches for me
You hide under the eiderdown 
All you can't sweep underneath the carpet
When you cover your neighbour's wife 
Scalding marks appear you're talking scarlet
Kid yourself that it's platonic love
Best of friends 
Eyes all smiling  
Watch them turn to iron filings

I will say late one evening 
While moonstruck beside her
I'll break the bonds of friendship one by one. I'll tell her
I'm more than some friendly fellow, 
I will say "How ya doin'?" so casually 
She never suspects I'm harbouring 
Thoughts of kissing her neck
I think my mouth's been drinking 
My basest thoughts do the thinking
You've no shame 
When Scarlet is your name 
Trust in flames
When Scarlet is your name

Yes, he's crying in his sleep, 
Yes, he's thoroughly miserable for me
Losing his looks for me, losing
Certain themes keep recurring, 
Boundaries start a blurring
I will say late one evening 
While moonstruck beside her
I'll break the bonds of friendship one by one. I'll tell her
I'm more than some friendly fellow, 
I will say "How ya doin?" so casually 
She never suspects I'm harbouring 
Thoughts of kissing her neck
I think my mouth's been drinking 
My basest thoughts do the thinking
Oh my God, someone tell her  
I know she's a star, celestial feast
In the zoo of my heart 
She is thrown to the beast, tell her
The mouse here beside her 
Won't always be denied her
I've no shame, 
Scarlet is my name, 
Trust in flames
Scarlet is my name
Carry no bright torches for me.
