It's dreamy weather
|
where on you waved your crooked wand
|
along an icy pond
|
with a frozen moon
|
murder of silhouette crows
|
I saw in the tears on my face
|
and the skates on the pond
|
they spelled Alice
|
I disappear in your name
|
but you must wait for me
|
somewhere beneath the sea
|
there's a wreck of a ship
|
your hair is like meadowgrass on the tide
|
and the raindrops on my window
|
and the ice in my drink
|
baby all I can think of is Alice
|
arithme-tic arithme-tock
|
turn the hands back on the clock
|
how does the ocean rock the boat?
|
how did the razor find my throat?
|
the only strings that hold me here
|
are tangled up around the pier
|
and so secret kiss
|
brings madness with the bliss
|
and I will think of this
|
when I'm dead in my grave
|
set me adrift and I'm lost in your hair
|
and I must be insane
|
to go skating on your name
|
and by tracing it twice
|
I fell though the ice of Alice
|
there's only Alice
|
