Carlos is on fire
And Alicia doesn't know
'Cause she's famous-er than anyone I know
He's just an old man in a wheelchair
Singin' for strangers
Hopes that one day she'll see
Hopes that one day she'll notice
Carlos is on fire
And Alicia soon will know
He's fiery-er than anyone she knows
And I'm just Cannonball Statman with a guitar
Yeah, really that's all I know
I'm not ready for this
I'm not ready for this fire
I'm not ready for this
I'm not ready for this fire
So keep your copyright
I don't know how to use it
Save it for someone who really needs it
Carlos is on fire
And Alicia soon will know
He's fiery-er than anyone else
