Lyrics
[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus 1] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Verse 4] So you fixed your star to a passing dream And took a cocaine holiday Now the years flow 'round you in a muddy stream You need another place to stay [Chorus 1] [Chorus 2] 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 [Verse 5] While 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 [Verse 6] 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 [Chorus 1] [Chorus 2]
