Messages in the flickering ghost light Spoken to him as he dozed And across the desert of his heart A line of smoke in the distance rose Cariiiinaaa... Her image stared at him from his screen Till the afterimage burn into his mind He spoke into thin air, and let her listen Till weariness and desire had blurred the line. to Cariiiinaaa... [Chorus] Oh, meet me where the lights won't find us No one here will understand Let's leave this old world behind us Hold me close and be my man And we'll escape the rust and sand... [Verse 2] She told him of her broken home A dove raised in a nest of sin The words she used were all his own Shuffled and dealt back to him Cariiiinaaa... So lost until they'd found each other One among a million screens Her hero and her only lover He felt like he had always been... for Cariiiinaaa... [Chorus] Oh, meet me where the lights won't find us No one here will understand Let's leave this old world behind us Hold me close and be my man Together we can make a plan [Bridge] And when the night fell he fled the city And he rode until the lights were dim He saw the rock where they were to meet at But she was waiting there for him And when she lurched into his headlights He realized what he had done The sight left mind and heart so broken He didn't even try to run From Cariiiinaaa... [Chorus] Oh, meet me where the lights won't find you Down where no one else can see Rising in the dark behind you Breathe your last breath into me Down here, together, you and me... It was months before they found his bags And bike pushed out into the brush And on the nights where the wind is low You'll hear him call out in the hush Cariiiinaaa...
