When Last I Spoke to Carol

When last I spoke to Carol, I said
"I can't pretend it gets easier"
She said, "I've hung on
I have edged around this narrow ledge
Since the day I was born in 1975"

(La da la da da)
(Oh)
(La da da da)

When last I spoke to Carol, I said
"I can't pretend I feel love for you"
She said, "I've hammered
A smile across this pasty face of mine
Since the day I was born in 1975"

(La da la da da da)

When I said goodbye to Carol
Black earth upon the casket fell
She had faded to
Something I always knew
To the rescue
Nobody ever comes

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
