[00:07.66]Sometimes it seems unimaginable
[00:10.39]That you were ever any other way
[00:13.91]With your white rose face and your orphan clothes
[00:17.02]Embroidered jeans and silver chains
[00:20.34]You're a well known face in all the hang-out places
[00:23.16]Where the lost souls congregate
[00:26.38]You sit all night, but you talk too fast
[00:30.00]I don't know what you're trying to say
[00:32.59]Oh Carol,
[00:34.51]I think it's time for running for cover, a-ha
[00:39.24]Believe me, you're everyone's and nobody's lover, a-ha
[00:45.29]You've got a one-way ticket for all your yesterdays
[00:52.16]I know your daddy said he'd talk to you
[00:54.54]But he never really found the time
[00:57.92]And your TV mother with her cocktail eyes
[01:01.56]Could never really reach your mind
[01:04.35]So you fixed your star to a passing dream
[01:07.49]And took a cocaine holiday
[01:10.61]Now the years flow round you in a muddy stream
[01:13.74]And you need another place to stay.
[01:16.84]Oh Carol,
[01:18.91]I think it's time for running for cover, a-ha
[01:21.86]Believe me, you're everyone's and nobody's lover, a-ha
[01:29.49]You've got a one-way ticket for all your yesterdays
[01:36.28]Reach down, silvery ship from the stars,I know you're there
[01:42.28]I know you'll understand me, you can take me anywhere
[01:48.62]I know you must be there
[02:14.01]Well, sometimes it seems impossible
[02:17.04]That the game could get that rough
[02:20.27]But the stage is set, the exit's barred
[02:23.60]And the make-up won't come off
[02:26.62]So you make your bow to the balcony
[02:29.70]You light another cigarette
[02:33.11]And the lights grow dim as the music starts
[02:36.44]And it's easy to forget
[02:39.17]Oh Carol,
[02:41.14]I think it's time for running for cover, a-ha
[02:45.77]Believe me, you're everyone's and nobody's lover, a-ha
[02:51.90]You've got a one-way ticket for all your yesterdays
[02:58.51]Reach down, silvery ship from the stars,I know you're there
[03:04.60]I know you'll understand me, you can take me anywhere
[03:10.26]I know you must be there
