Scorpio Boy

Scorpio Boy - Tom Baxter

When I was young my mama told me

Mama: "Look all around look all around flowers are growing

Daffodils spread under the warm sun

If you look through the rain here comes a rainbow

You see one day you'll grow up into a strong boy

And you'll have the whole world in your hands

So now don't be a scared boy

Remember you're beautiful; don't let this world drag you down

Stay strong Scorpio boy"

When I was young me and my brother

We both dreamt we were soldiers fighting a war

We built us a camp of tin in that old tree

Where I looked out for him and he look out for me

It was until that we walked into the front lines

And holding my hand he whispered to me

Brother: "So now don't be a scared boy

Remember you're beautiful

Don't let this world drag you down

Stay strong Scorpio boy"

So when I was strong I met me a weak girl weak girl

And she pleaded she needed me so I stripped to the bone

Oh she pulled me inside and she sucked out my senses

And she threw all my uniform out into the hall

And she used me to walk on instead of the floor

Endlessly wanting more

Scorpio boy: "So now please don't be a scared boy

Remember you're beautiful don't let this world drag you down

Stay strong Scorpio boy

Stay strong Scorpio boy

Stay strong Scorpio boy"
