Study in Scarlet

She goes to the church on a Sunday, and even though it's not a Monday yet,
She has no money to pay her debts
And when she's called to the altar, she knows she's been faltering
She's been wearing everything from black to red

It's a study in scarlet
It's a study in scarlet

She gave her last farthing, and now she is parting
She's leaving from the graveyard from the church
And then she spots a fire, and she sees it growing higher
And she throws the red in the fire

It's a study in scarlet
It's a study in scarlet
Whoa, a study in scarlet
Whoa, a study in scarlet

She'd rather be dead then have to wear this red again
She'd rather be dead then have to wear this red again
This red, this red again
[2x]

She goes to the church on a Sunday, and even though it's not a Monday yet,
She has no money to pay her debts
And when she's called to the altar, she knows she's been faltering
She's been wearing everything from black to red

It's a study in scarlet
It's a study in scarlet
Whoa, a study in scarlet
Whoa, a study in scarlet
