  • Sorry to disturb you
    But I was in the neighbourhood
    About a friend I've her picture
    Could you take a look?
    Oh, I appreciate you're busy
    And time is not your own
    Yeah, maybe it would be better
    If I telephoned

    [chorus]:
    Carrie doesn't live here anymore
    Carrie used to room on the second floor
    Sorry that she left no forwarding address
    That was known to me
    Carrie doesn't live here anymore
    You could always ask at the corner store
    Carrie had a date with her own kind of fate
    It's plain to see

    Another missing person
    One of many we assume
    The young wear their freedom
    Like cheap perfume
    (It's useless information)
    Returning my call
    (To help the situation)
    They've nothing at all
    You're just another message
    On a payphone wall
