"Caribbean Sunset" lyrics - JOHN CALE

She said no, she meant maybe
She said she wasn't that type of girl
When she'd done wrong, she'd never admit it
And I had empty pockets to prove it

She was so much like a foreign language
That you learned but never understood
She said words just didn't matter
But when she needed them they always would

[Chorus:]
Caribbean, Caribbean
Caribbean
Caribbean, Caribbean
Caribbean sunset

[Instrumental Verse]

[Chorus:]
Caribbean, Caribbean
Sunset
Caribbean, Caribbean
Sunset

[Bridge:]
She'd rather sleep in the street at night
Or she'd rather not sleep at all
She's not so sure of her friends these days
Not sure of anything at all
