Darling, darling
Doesnt have a problem
Lyin to herself
Cause her liquours top shelf
Its alarming, honestly
How charming she can be
Fooling everyone
Telling them shes having fun

She says
You dont want to be like me
Dont want to see all the things Ive seen
Im dyin, Im dyin
She says
You dont want to get this way
Famous and dumb at an early age
Lyin, Im lyin

The boys, the girls
They all like carmen
She gives them butterflies
Bats her cartoon eyes

She laughs like God
Her minds like a diamond
Audiotune lies
Shes still shinin
Like lightning, white lightning

Carmen, carmen
Staying up till morning
Only 17, but she walks the streets so mean
Its alarming truly
How disarming you can be
Eatin soft ice cream
Coney island queen

She says
You dont want to be like me
Lookin for fun, gettin high for free
Im dyin, Im dyin
She says
You dont want to get this way
Streetwalk at night and a star by day
Its tirin, tirin

The boys, the girls
They all like carmen
She gives them butterflies
Bats her cartoon eyes

She laughs like God
Her minds like a diamond
Audiotune lies
Shes still shinin
Like lightning, white lightning

Babys all dressed up with nowhere to go
Thats the little story of the girl you know
Relying on the kindness of strangers
Tying cherry knots
Smiling, doing party favours
Put your red dress on, put your lipstick on
Sing your song, song
Now the cameras on
And youre alive again

Mon amour, je sais que tu maimes aussi
Tu as besoin de moi
Tu as besoin de moi dans ta vie
Tu ne peux vivre sans moi
Et je mourrerai sans toi
Je tuerai pour toi

The boys, the girls
They all like carmen
She gives them butterflies
Bats her cartoon eyes

She laughs like God
Her minds like a diamond
Audiotune lies
Shes still shinin
Like lightning, white lightning

Darlin, darlin
Doesnt have a problem
Lyin to herself
Cause her liquours top shelf
