Artist/Band: Tom Waits
Lyrics for Song: Alice
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Tom Waits



It's dreamy weather we're on

You wave 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'll 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 that I can think of

Is Alice



Arithmetic, Arithmetock

I 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
