"Carroll Avenue" lyrics

The glass coffee stains that you fade on the table
We made you a star, so we get to break you
The valley's uncanny, the joke hasn't landed
My head's still in Hackney
You can't fucking stand me, yeah?
You can't fucking stand me, yeah?
But you make me happier

Down on Carroll Avenue
Fade to black when you're blue
I drew sunsets around you
Fade to black when you're blue
On Carroll Avenue

The Hollywood signs kept romance alive
From Callaway Drive, the star killed the stripe
When the cry turns to silence
Bled out in the basement
You can't blame me now
This is our entertainment, yeah?
Are you feeling famous yet?
It's carved in the pavement

On Carroll Avenue
Fade to black when you're blue
I drew sunsets around you
Fade to black when you're blue
On Carroll Avenue

Down on Carroll Avenue
Fade to black when you're blue
I drew sunsets around you
Fade to black when you're blue
On Carroll Avenue
