Carmen, carmen, 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
I'm lying, I'm lying
The boys, the girls, they all like Carmen
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, like lightning
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
Eating soft ice cream
Coney Island Queen
She says you don't want to be like me
Looking for fun, getting high for free
Tiring, it's tiring
She says you don't want to get this way
Street walk at night, and a star by day
It's tiring and 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
Just like lightning, ohh, 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
Tying cherry knots, smiling, doing party favors
Put your red dress on, put your lipstick on
Sing your song, song, the camera's on
And you're alive again
The boys, the girls, and 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
Just like lightning, ohh, like lightning
Oh like lightning,
Ohh like lightning
Darling, darling, doesn't have a problem
Lying to herself 'cause her liquor's top shelf
