Alice Lyrics - Alice (the Original Demos) - Tom Waits

It's dreamy weather we're on 

You waved your crooked wand 

Along an icy pond with a frozen moon 

A murder of silhouette crows I saw 

And the tears on my face 

And the skates on the pond 

They spell Alice 

I disappear in your name 

But you must wait for me 

Somewhere across the sea 

There's a wreck of a ship 

Your hair is like meadow grass on the tide 

And the raindrops on my window 

And the ice in my drink 

Baby all I can think of is Alice 

Arithmetic arithmetock 

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 a 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 over there 

And I must be insane 

To go skating on your name 

And by tracing it twice 

I fell through the ice 

Of Alice 

And so a 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 over there 

And I must be insane 

To go skating on your name 

And by tracing it twice 

I fell through the ice 

Of Alice 

There's only Alice
