Darling, darling, doesn’t have a problem –
Lying to herself ’cause her liquor’s top shelf –
It’s alarming honestly how charming she can be –
Fooling everyone, telling them she’s having fun –
She says, You don’t want to be like me –
Don’t wanna see all the things I’ve seen. –
I’m dying, I’m dying –
She says, You don’t want to get this way –
Famous and dumb at an early age. –
Lying, I’m lying –
The boys, the girls, they all like Carmen
She gives them butterflies, bats her cartoon eyes
She laughs like God, her mind’s like a diamond
Audio tune lies, she’s still shining
Like lightning, oh, white lightning
Carmen, Carmen, staying up til morning
Only seventeen, but she walks the streets so mean
It’s alarming truly how disarming you can be
Eating soft ice cream
Coney Island Queen
She says, You don’t want to be like me
Looking for fun, getting high for free.
I’m dying, I’m dying
She says, You don’t want to get this way
Street walk at night, and a star by day.
It’s tiring, I’m dying
The boys, the girls, they all like Carmen
She gives them butterflies, bats her cartoon eyes
She laughs like God, her mind’s like a diamond
Audio tune lies, she’s still shining
Like lightning, ohh, white lightning
Baby’s all dressed up with nowhere to go
That’s the little story of the girl you know
Relying on the kindness of strangers
Tying cherry knots, smiling, doing party favors
Put your red dress on, put your lipstick on
Sing your song, song, now the camera’s on
And you’re alive again
Mon amour, je sais que tu m’aimes aussi
My love, I know you love me, too
Tu as besoin de moi
You need me
Tu as besoin de moi dans ta vie
You need me in your life
Tu ne peux plus vivre sans moi
You can not live without me
Et je mourrais sans toi
And I’d die without you
Je tuerais pour toi
I would kill for you
The boys, the girls, they all like Carmen
She gives them butterflies, bats her cartoon eyes
She laughs like God, her mind’s like a diamond
Audio tune lies, she’s still shining
Like lightning, oh, white lightning
Darling, darling, doesn’t have a problem
Lying to herself ’cause her liquor’s top shelf
