lyrics

I remember cornfields in ancient Egypt, sprinkled with my ashes
And being burned at the stake with a temptress in the Middle Ages
For coming too close to the flames of hell, held guilty as witches
It’s that provocative colour at the centre of desire which led to persecutions for centuries

Hey Ginger, beware
They’re not going to treat you right out there
Sooner or later they’ll be back again to bury your head
Bury the redhead in the playground sand

I can picture them easily, not pulling any punches
Hunting you down, setting their dogs on you as far as beaches
And after the wanton street stoning, you’ll be counting up the stitches
All of this I carry with me, as history unfolds and nothing ever really changes

Hey Ginger, beware
They’re not going to treat you right out there
Sooner or later they’ll be back again to bury your head
Bury the redhead in the playground sand
