The Soul Of Carmen Miranda Lyrics - John Cale

Since the soul of Carmen Miranda had 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
