Lyrics
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 rain bops on my window
And the ice in my drink
Baby, all I can think of is Alice
Arithmetick, 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 bring 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 here
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
Of Alice
