She is carmen san diego
And i would rather stay at home
She sees no harm in where they go
And i stay inside and spin the globe
She travels through, paddles canoes
she's making time and making do
To the movies or the zoo
She's only satisfied when she's on the move
And I'm the needle inside her groove
She runs the race, she's keeping pace
To another time and place
One day into outer space
I know she wants to fly up to the moon
I hope she'll come back to me soon
She is carmen san diego
And i would rather stay at home
She sees no harm in where they go
And i stay inside and spin the globe
The pyramids, she never kids
Around she drives through town and skids
Into the auction house and bids
But never settles down with her possessions
She never wants to drown in her obsessions
The Amazon before it's gone
She wants to wear a ball python
And run another marathon
She's always learning other people's lessons
And whispering confessions
She is carmen san diego
And i would rather stay at home
She sees no harm in where they go
And i stay inside and spin the globe
She never stands still long enough to be a billabong
She says she's like the ocean but she's never ever calm
She's nobody's daughter and she's everybody's mom
She'll tell you there's no black and white but she's right and you're wrong
She is carmen san diego
And i would rather stay at home
She sees no harm in where they go
And i stay inside and spin the globe
