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....
