Carol Lyrics

Carol lyrics

Sometimes it seems unimaginable

 That you were every any other way

 With your white rose face and your orphan clothes,

 Embroidered jeans and silver chains

 You're a well known face in all the hang-out places

 Where the lost souls congregate

 And you sit all night, but you talk too fast

 And I don't know what you're trying to say.

 

 CHORUS

 Oh Carol, I think it's time for running for cover,

 Believe me, you're everyone's and nobody's lover,

 You've got a one-way ticket for all your yesterdays.

 

 I know your daddy said he'd talk to you

 But he never really found the time

 And your TV mother with her cocktail eyes

 Could never really reach your mind

 So you fixed your star to a passing dream

 And took a cocaine holiday

 Now the years flow round you in a muddy stream

 And you need another place to stay.

 

 CHORUS

 

 Reach down, silvery ship from the stars, I know you're there,

 I know you'll understand me, you can take me anywhere,

 I know you must be there...

 

 Sometimes it seems impossible

 That the game could get that rough

 But the stage is set, the exit's barred

 And the make-up won't come off

 So you make your bow to the balcony,

 You light another cigarette

 and the lights grow dim ast the music starts

 And it's easy to forget.

 

 CHORUS

 

 Reach down, silvery ship from the stars, I know you're  there,

 I know you'll understand me, you can take me anywhere,

 I know you must be there....
