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"
