Shades Of Scarlett Conquering - Joni Mitchell

　　Out of the fire like Catholic saints

　　Comes Scarlett and her deep complaint

　　Mimicking tenderness she sees

　　In sentimental movies

　　A celluloid rider comes to town

　　Cinematic lovers sway

　　Plantations and sweeping ballroom gowns

　　Take her breath away

　　Out in the wind in crinolines

　　Chasing the ghosts of Gable and Flynn

　　Through stand-in boys and extra players

　　Magnolias hopeful in her auburn hair

　　She comes from a school of southern charm

　　She likes to have things her way

　　Any man in the world holding out his arm

　　Would soon be made to pay

　　Friends have told her not so proud

　　Neighbors trying to sleep and yelling "not so loud"

　　Lovers in anger "Block of Ice"

　　Harder and harder just to be nice

　　Given in the night to dark dreams

　　From the dark things she feels

　　She covers her eyes in the X-rated scenes

　　Running from the reels

　　Beauty and madness to be praised

　　'Cause it is not easy to be brave

　　To walk around in so much need

　　To carry the weight of all that greed

　　Dressed in stolen clothes she stands

　　Cast iron and frail

　　With her impossibly gentle hands

　　And her blood-red fingernails

　　Out of the fire and still smoldering

　　She says "A woman must have everything"

　　Shades of Scarlett Conquering

　　She says "A woman must have everything"
