lyrics

There's something about this place that makes me want to vomit.
A metaphorical stink which rises and lusciously fills my nose.
It's the art of subtle immorality that gets these weasels far,
But for me and my grog - we long ago chose not to be a part.
But then I met you, and so I sing...

Caroline, Caroline - I gave it my best today.
While it's true I made this promise to you
but now they just won't go away.
Is this the best way, best way, best way?
I just can't give it away, give it away, give it away.

When the sun sets and the clouds still linger over my head
and this Cadillac Escalade world still won't get it right...
The people I see are all soulless suckers - locked in:
they're ready for their money and ready for their sex -
'cause it's their right.
Too scared to be one of them so I hide.

Caroline, Caroline - I gave it my best today.
I know this is your way and for that I stay.
Is this the best way, best way, best way?
Why can't we just run away, run away, run away?

Caroline, Caroline - I gave it my best today.
It's true I made this promise to you
but now they just won't go away.

This really frees my soul.
Goddammit this really rips away my soul.
