Gonna fade my jeans in the deep blue sea
Wash my cares away
Feelin’ the breeze going through the trees
Just the music of the day

Oh, going to Caracas
Beautiful town when the lights go down
Dance the night away
Drinkin’ the wines
Make me feel fine
That’s what the people say

Oh oh Caracas

Come to the show
And let yourself go
There’s magic in the air
Come a long way to make your day
Gonna show you that we care

Oh oh going to Caracas
Oh I’m going to Caracas

Almost there, got my ticket, paid my fare
Almost there, stop us if you dare

Oh oh

Almost there, got my ticket, paid my fare
Almost there, yeah stop us if you dare

Oh oh going to Caracas
Oh oh going to Caracas

All of the meanings are only truly known by the creators of the lyrics for Caracas - The Hollies and any of the writers who worked with them on the song.

If you have an interest in the structure of words and phrases, you can dissect the lyrics to Caracas by The Hollies in multiple ways. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Caracas" means the words set to the music of Caracas, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by The Hollies. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics.
