[Verse 1]
Sorry to disturb you
But I was in the neighbourhood
About a friend, I've her picture
Could you take a look?
[Verse 2]
Oh, I appreciate you're busy
And time is not your own
Yeah, maybe it would be better
If I telephoned
[Chorus]
Carrie doesn't live here anymore
Carrie used to room on the second floor
Sorry that she left no forwarding address
That was known to me
[Chorus 2]
Carrie doesn't live here anymore
You could always ask at the corner store
Carrie had a date with her own kind of fate
It's plain to see
[Verse 3]
Another missing person
One of many we assume
The young wear their freedom
Like cheap perfume
[Bridge]
(It's useless information) Returning my call
(To help the situation) They've nothin' at all
You're just another message
On a payphone wall
[Chorus]
Carrie doesn't live here anymore
Carrie used to room on the second floor
Sorry that she left no forwarding address
That was known to me
Carrie!
[Solo]
2:19 - 2:35
[Chorus 3]
Carrie doesn't live here anymore
(Carrie doesn't live, doesn't live anymore)
Carrie used to room on the second floor
(On the second)
Sorry Carrie left no forwarding address
It's a mystery
Sorry to disturb you
But I was in the neighbourhood
About a friend, I've her picture
Could you take a look?
[Verse 2]
Oh, I appreciate you're busy
And time is not your own
Yeah, maybe it would be better
If I telephoned
[Chorus]
Carrie doesn't live here anymore
Carrie used to room on the second floor
Sorry that she left no forwarding address
That was known to me
[Chorus 2]
Carrie doesn't live here anymore
You could always ask at the corner store
Carrie had a date with her own kind of fate

Carrie doesn't live here anymore
(Carrie doesn't live, doesn't live anymore)

(On the second)
Sorry Carrie left no forwarding address
