There's Only Alice Lyrics - Tom Waits

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
