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