Caroline Lyrics

Steppenwolf

Words and music by Mars Bonfire

You look so bored with your jet set mother
Standing there at the airport
You sure came alive when your eye caught the headline
And saw the picture of the rebel queen

I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
Everything that went through your head
Time to step in the danger zone
And start a fire of your own

Oh, Caroline, oh, Caroline
Are you ready for the outlaw world?
Oh, Caroline, oh, Caroline
Are you ready for the outlaw world?
Caroline, oh, Caroline
Are you ready for the outlaw
Ready for the outlaw world?

You talk so low in the back street cafe
Makin' plans with your mystery man
You pour out your heart and you tell him your story
Giving yourself just to save the whole world
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
Every word that passed through your lips
Time to step in the danger zone
And start a fire of your own

Repeat Chorus

This generation they want a legend
Carol is that you?
The evening news an injection
And you can be that too

Repeat Chorus
