Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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
