John Cale - The Soul Of Carmen Miranda lyrics
[John Cale - The Soul Of Carmen Miranda lyrics]
Captured the mind of man
Dismissed with her generation for the
Price of a can-can
Consigned to the sideshows of history
With the patronized orphans of film
She seeded the bait and offered the faint
Hope of chance to innocent men
In love with the trance of her dances
And abandoned by them and abandoned by them
She called in the boys
She remembered their names
And the sorry condition they came in
The dances were soiled
They spun and recoiled
From the master tapdancer inside them
Beside them
The soul of Carmen Miranda had
Captured the mind of man
Dismissed with her generation for the
Price of a can-can
The soul of Carmen Miranda for
The price of a can-can
The soul of Carmen Miranda for
The price of a can-can
