  • 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 Writer/s: Alistair Ian Stewart
