Tom Waits - Alice Lyrics
It's dreamy weather we're onYou wave your crooked wandAlong an icy pondWith a frozen moonA murder of silhouette crows I sawAnd the tears on my faceAnd the skates on the pondThey spell AliceI'll disappear in your nameBut you must wait for meSomewhere across the seaThere's a wreck of a shipYour hair is like meadow grassOn the tideAnd the raindrops on my windowAnd the ice in my drinkBaby, all that I can think ofIs AliceArithmetic, ArithmetockI turn the hands back on the clockHow does the ocean rock the boatHow did the razor find my throatThe only strings that hold me hereAre tangled up around the pierAnd so a secret kissBrings madness with the blissAnd I will think of thisWhen I'm dead in my graveSet me adrift and I'm lost over thereAnd I must be insaneTo go skating on your nameAnd by tracing it twiceI fell through the iceOf AliceAnd so a secret kissBrings madness with the blissAnd I will think of thisWhen I'm dead in my graveSet me adrift and I'm lost over thereAnd I must be insaneTo go skating on your nameAnd by tracing it twiceI fell through the iceOf AliceThere's only Alice
