Carmella Songtext

von Taco

I found her in a dirty little cafe
In an obscure part of Reno, sleeping in a corner
Her features suggested further beauty
But the picture she presented just made me shiver

I thought of the endless nights just searching
With a handful of indications, most of them were useless
Now that the journey was over, I wondered
Was it worth it, what had happened to the girl?

Carmella, people call you the mystery star
You live on as a legend, but I searched for the truth
Carmella, you have haunted me ever since
When I once featured beside you with a one-sentence line

I ordered two double whiskey sodas
As I needed all the courage to go and wake her
Then suddenly, two eyes burned right through me
I wanted to be certain who sat before me

She told me that there were many reasons
About her disappearance, the torment she'd been through
Surgeons had ruined her sister's face
Then they made her take her place, but Conchita couldn't act

Carmella, people call you the mystery star
You live on as a legend, but I searched for the truth
Carmella, you have haunted me ever since
When I once featured beside you with a one-sentence line

Carmella, people call you the mystery star
You live on as a legend, but I searched for the truth
Carmella, you have haunted me ever since
When I once featured beside you with a one-sentence line
