Carol

Sometimes it seems unimaginable
That you were ever 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
You sit all night, but you talk too fast
I don't know what you're trying to say
Oh Carol,
I think it's time for running for cover, a-ha
Believe me, you're everyone's and nobody's lover, a-ha
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 T
V mother with her cocktail eyes
Could never really reach your mind
So you fixed your star to a passing dream
And took a ******* holiday
Now the years flow round you in a muddy stream
And you need another place to stay.
Oh Carol,
I think it's time for running for cover, a-ha
Believe me, you're everyone's and nobody's lover, a-ha
You've got a one-way ticket for all your yesterdays
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
Well, 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 as the music starts
And it's easy to forget
Oh Carol,
I think it's time for running for cover, a-ha
Believe me, you're everyone's and nobody's lover, a-ha
You've got a one-way ticket for all your yesterdays
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
