LYRICS

Caroline says - as she gets up off the floor
Why is it that you beat me - it isn't any fun
Caroline says - as she makes up her eyes
You ought to learn more about yourself - think more than just I
But she's not afraid to die
All her friends call her 'Alaska'
When she takes speed, they laugh and ask her
What is in her mind, what is in her mind

Caroline says - as she gets up from the floor
You can hit me all you want to, but I don't love you anymore
Caroline says - while biting her lip
Life is meant to be more than this - and this is a bum trip

But she's not afraid to die
All her friends call her 'Alaska'
When she takes speed, they laugh and ask her
What is in her mind, what is in her mind

She put her fist through the window pane
It was such a funny feeling

It's so cold in Alaska [x3]
