Darling, darling, doesn't have a problem
Lying to herself because her liquour's top shelf
It's alarming honestly how charming she can be
Fooling everyone, telling how 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, and no age
I'm, I'm dying
The boys, the girls, they all like Carmen
She gives them butterflies, but too cocainize
She laughs like God, her mind's like a diamond
Buy her tonight, she's still shining
Like lightning, light, like lightning
Carmen, Carmen
Staying up till morning
Only 17, but she walks the streets so mean
It's alarming, truly, how disarming
We can be, eating soft ice cream
Coney Island Queen
She says: "You don't want to be like me
Working for fun, getting high for free
I'm dying, I'm dying"
She says: "You don't want to get this way
Street walking at night, and a star by day
It's tiring, tiring"
The boys, the girls, they all like Carmen
She gives them butterflies, but too cocainize
She laughs like God, her mind's like a diamond
Buy her tonight, she's still shining
Like lightning, like 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
Time and cherry marks
Wile doing party favours
Put your red dress on, put your lipstick on
Sing your song, song, now, the camera's on
And you're alive again
The boys, the girls, they all like Carmen
She gives them butterflies, but too cocainize
She laughs like God, her mind's like a diamond
Buy her tonight, she's still shining
Like lightning, light like lightning
Like lightning, light like lightning
Darling, darling, doesn't have a problem
Lying to herself cause her liquour's top shelf
