Tom Waits - Alice
текст песни

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
in 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 the 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

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

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
