Carmela Lyrics by Abby and the Arsonists

Caterpillars in the Walls

2024

[Intro]
He comes home on a Monday
Collar covered in bloodstains
Tony stands in the doorway
Waits for you to wash his sins away
He’s been out all weekend
With his Russian girlfriend
You never asked to be his
Mother’s lover’s mob wife
With money in her pocket
[Chorus]
He’s got one hand to hold you with
The other’s for some whore he works with
He’s got too many reasons
For you to leave him
So you should leave him
Just leave him
[Verse]
He takes you down to the basement
Paranoid the cops are listening
Won’t tell you where the money’s hidden
Won’t ask you nicely to stop asking
And your mother never liked him
She knows what he does for a living
The older the children get, the less sure you are
That it’s worth hiding them
[Chorus]
He’s got one hand to hold you with
The other’s for some whore he works with
He’s got too many reasons
For you to leave him
So you should leave him
Carmela, leave him!
[Outro]
And the man you’re in love with
Is terrified of your husband
Love deeper than the river he’ll drown in
If Tony ever finds him, God forbid
He gets a clean house, a warm bed
It was never enough for him
But enough is enough for you
Throw the home phone at his fat fucking ungrateful head!
