Caroline's Monkey

Caroline knows how fragile we are With hope as our faith, we look to the stars Caroline's monkey is crying again There's no satisfaction on Caroline's train Caroline leaks through holes in her skin Her promise of sweetness, forgiveness and everything Caroline's monkey coos in her ear Drives like a demon through Caroline's tears Caroline feels the ice in her veins The minutes and hours, the naming of days Caroline said her dream never ends For Caroline's monkey and Caroline's friends Fading's better than failing Falling's better than feeling Folding's better than losing Fixing's better than healing, sometimes Caroline's monkey claws at her back Colder than winter, darker than black Caroline's monkey is hungry again Running with scissors on needles and pins Caroline's monkey lives where she lays Sleeps like a thief and steals through the days Caroline's monkey makes up all the fun Leaves chaos and ruin on Caroline's tongue Caroline knows how fragile we are With hope as our faith, we look to the stars Caroline's monkey is crying again There's no satisfaction on Caroline's train Fading's better than failing Falling's better than feeling Folding's better than losing Fixing's better than healing, sometimes --- Caroline's Monkey - Depeche Mode
