Tom Waits - There's Only Alice lyrics

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 meadowgra** 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
