Carlotta Valdez

(album: Where Have All The Merrymakers Gone? - 1997)

Jimmy Stewart follows Kim to where your portrait hangs on a wall.
Such a haunting vision, he forgets his partner's fall.

Jump into the San Francisco bay.
I'll follow you in.
I know you can't swim
When you've been dead 100 years. Carlotta!

Carlotta Valdez. Carlotta Valdez.
Carlotta Valdez, I will make you her.

And everything's subjective. Nothing lasts for Johnny O.
K-kiss Kim Novak where the redwoods grow.
I'll bleach her hair and pretend she didn't die.
Go up the mission stair.
I'll follow anywhere that is, until you climb too high,
'Cause I get vertigo. Vertigo. Vertigo!

Carlotta Valdez. Carlotta Valdez.
Carlotta Valdez: I will make you her.

What a thing to be the center of attention all the time.
He isn't really falling for this, is he?
He's getting dizzy,
And so am I.

Carlotta Valdez. Carlotta Valdez. Carlotta Valdez. Let her go, Jim!
Carlotta Valdez. Carlotta Valdez.; Carlotta Valdez, I will make you her!
