Watching Alice Lyrics - Nick Cave & The Bad Seed

Alice wakes, it is morning 

She is yawning as she walks about the room 

Her hair rolls down her breast 

She is naked and it is June 

Standing at the window 

I wonder if she knows that I can see 

Watching Alice rise year after year 

Up in her palace, she?s captive there 

Alice?s body is golden brown, her hair hangs down 

As she brushes it one hundred times 

First she pulls her stocking on 

And then the church bell chimes 

Alice climbs into her uniform 

The zippers on the side 

Watching Alice dressing in her room 

It?s so depressing, it?s cruel
