Lyrics
Sometimes it seems unimaginable
That you were ever any other way
With your white rose face, your orphan clothes
Embroidered jeans and silver chains
You're a well known face in all the hangout 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, ah-ha
Believe me, you're everyone's and nobody's lover, ah-ha
You've got a one-way ticket for all your yesterdays

I know your daddy said he'd talk to you
He never really found the time
Your TV and mama with her cocktail eyes
This has never really reach your mind
You fixed your star to a passing dream
Took a cocaine holiday (woo)
The years flow round you in a muddy stream
You need another place to stay

Oh Carol, I think it's time for running for cover, ah-ha
Believe me, you're everyone's and nobody's lover, ah-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
Oh, I know you must be there

Sometimes it seems impossible
The game could get that rough
The stage is set, the exit's barred
And the makeup won't come off
You make your bow to the balcony
Light another cigarette
Lights grow dim as the music starts
It's easy to forget

Oh Carol, I think it's time for running for cover, ah-ha
Believe me, you're everyone's and nobody's lover, oh, ah-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
Oh, I know you must be there
