Carla came from Clearwater, FLA, moved out Orlando way

Got a job at the Diamond Head serving drinks and dancing for a few bucks here, a few bucks there

You know all those fat businessmen just wanted to take her home

Then she got bored with that flop of a town

Her mascara came off, and she hit back home, just like the exit of a Broadway star

After your curtain call you take your costume off

And you see the place, it was so special 'cause I was alone, and it was happening

You know the feeling was like lightning bolts behind our eyes

And it was fun, so much fun

One night me and Carla were jamming in Nick T's bedroom, that's where I met Bonnie Jean

The three of us confided in each other when hanging 'round with the crew

They weren't involved in that underground scene

And you see the place, it was so special 'cause I was alone, and it was happening

You know the feeling was like lightning bolts behind our eyes

We had such a nice time
