Third track from Concrete Blonde’s most well-known album Bloodletting (1990).
The music video features Johnette and band performing in a strip club, where (the ostensible) Caroline suffers all manner of existential crisis while two more generously clothed strippers sing backup.
I hear you're driving
Someone else's car now...
She said you came and
Took your stuff away -
All the poetry, and the trunk
You kept your life in -
I knew that it would
Come to that someday...
Like a sad hallucination
When I opened up my eyes
The train had passed the station
And you were trapped inside...
Yet I never wonder where you went
I only wonder why
I wonder why...
Oh Caroline
Oh, whoa-oh Caroline
Oh, oh Caroline
Whoa whoa whoa, Caroline
Well I hear you're using someone else's number;
She said she saw you in the store today
It doesn't matter whose address
You're listed under
I only know they'll never make you stay
Like a memory in motion
You were only passing through...
That is all you've ever known of life
That's all you'll ever do
There's a dream I have where I sail away;
Looking back I wave at you
And I wave goodbye...
Oh Caroline
Oh, oh whoa oh, Caroline
Oh, oh Caroline
Oh
In another life I see you
As an angel flying high
And the hands of time will free you -
You will cast your chains aside -
And the dawn will come and kiss away
Every tear that's ever fallen
From your eyes...
Behind those eyes
I wonder
Oh, Caroline... oh, oh, oh...
Oh, oh... Caroline...
Sometimes I wonder...
Oh... Caroline
Sometimes I
Sometimes I wonder...
Caroline was written by Johnette Napolitano.
Concrete Blonde released Caroline on Tue May 15 1990.
