lyrics

Carrie

Carrie didn’t want the world to know she was breathing
Carrie didn’t want the world to give her a sigh
There were bombs and guns and people who danced near the streetlight
There were bombs and guns and nobody walked outside
She’s alive

Carrie had the type of chip that melts in your shoulder
She had one last chance to rid herself of the plight
There were men at arms, guarding the pyramid holders
There were men at arms, and she had a way to fight

From the moon to the rise of the sea
There’s a gravity feel, it’s a you into me
I know you’re alright
To stay through the night
From the moon to the rise of the sea

Carrie had a heart of snow on a night in the city
Carrie had to do her best with tools she could find
There were bombs and guns and people who danced near the streetlight
There were bombs and guns and nobody walked outside
