ALICE

words and music by andrew eldritch



Alice pressed against the wall (live version is 'She stands pressed...')

So she can see the door

In case the laughing strangers crawl and

Crush the petals on the floor



Alice in her party dress

She thanks you kindly

So serene

She needs you like she needs her tranqs

To tell her that the world is clean

To promise her a definition

Tell her where the rain will fall

Tell her where the sun shines bright

And tell her she can have it all

Today



Pass the crystal spread the Tarot

In illusion comfort lies

The safest way the straight and narrow

No confusion no surprise



Alice in her party dressed to kill

She thanks you turns away

She needs you like she needs needs her pills

To tell that the world's okay

To promise her a definition

Tell her where the rain will fall

Tell her where the sun shines bright

And tell her she can have it all

today

today



Alice

Don't give it way
