Worum geht es in dem Song?

Der Songtext "Scarlet Begonias" von Sublime erzählt die Geschichte eines Mannes, der eine faszinierende Frau trifft. Als...

As I was walkin' down rubadub square
Not a chill to the wind but a nip to the air
From another direction she was caught in my eye
It could be an illusion but I might as well try,
Might as well try

She had rings on her fingers and bells on her shoes
And I knew without asking she was into the blues
She wore scarlet begonias tucked into her curls
I knew right away she was not like other girls,
Like other girls

Well I ain't never been right as I ain't never been wrong
As everything works out the way it does in this song, hey
'Cause once in awhile you get shown in the light,
In the strangest of places
If you look at it right

It was the summer of love and I thank the stars above
Because the woman took a lovin' over me
And just to gain her trust I bought a microbus
Because I sold off all my personal property

A tight tie-dyed dress she was a psychedelic mess
We toured to the north, south, east, and west
We sold some mushroom tea,
We sold some extacy,
We sold nitrous, opium, acid, heroin, and PCP

And now I hear the police comin' after me
Yes, now I hear the police comin' after me
The one scarlet with the flowers in her hair,
She's got the police comin' after me

Well there ain't nothin' wrong with the way she moves
All scarlet begonias and a touch of the blues
And there ain't nothin' wrong with the love that's in her eyes
I had to learn the hard way just to let her pass by,
Let it pass by
Oh, just let her pass by
