Alice Songtext

von The Sisters of Mercy

Alice pressed against the wall
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 the thanks you turns away
She needs you like she needs her pills
To tell her 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 away
