Just let her walk alone, on blindly through the rain
She likes to think she's turning wise
No one can tell her now; she crashes every time she flies.
Don't lay a hand on her, she can undress herself
Even when she's a 1000 miles away
Eyes steady and bloodless
Burning the torch at her own auto-da-fe.
Caroline...she's running through the window
Caroline...she's crawling on the ground
Caroline...all the words in the whole world
Will never work now.
Let her smile and cast you off, like a skin she's worn too long
The past only changes in her mind
She blazed like a candle
But she's gone, with the smoke, straight out of time.
Caroline...she's creeping on the ceiling
Caroline...she's crying out loud
Caroline...all the words in the whole world
Will never work now.
