Firewater


In your empty bed 
You remember every word she said 
And every word rings in your head 
Except, "I'm Sorry" 
And when the dark comes down 
Upon this stark and sullen town 
Will all her ghosts still hang around 
To wreck the party? 
Caroline on the breeze 
Whispering in the trees 
You caught her like a disease 
But they still haven't found the cure 
She took what she could skive 
With her transparent eyes 
And she starved herself of everything 
Money couldn't buy 
Caroline 

Another steel-gray dawn 
You wonder whether to go on 
When obligations linger on 
As if you made them 
You're so sick and tired 
Of disinfectants, cops, and lawyers 
All satan's angels are his choir 
Sing Hallelujah, Hallelujah 

Caroline on the bridge 
Not allot left to give 
Never mind what she did 
She could only betray herself 
She walked a crooked line 
Led you deaf, dumb, and blind 
And she compromised your 
Confidence in every single crime 
Caroline
